Hi,
I can search into secure notes in browser without problem using the browser search function but I can’t find a way to do so from the mobile app.
Maybe am I missing something ?
Thanks
PS : the global search function doesn’t find my secure notes string neither
Substrings aren’t always returned. I’ll move this comment to the other thread: Search within and inside all notes - #3 by tgreer
When a search is started to find items (logins, cards,…) that include a specific keyword, the tool searches in the Name fields, but TOO should search in the notes field. Reason: I end writing long names in “name” field to have key words to search, while those can be simple text Notes and leave the Name more friendly
This definitely needs to be corrected. It needs to have the same search capability on every device. I had this problem and I realized that I am not alone.
Hi,
When I search my vault for a term that’s in a secure note or login’s “notes” field, I get 0 search results. Only terms in the “name” and maybe some other fields return results.
Can the mobile app’s vault search enable searching through item’s “notes” field as well?
Regards.
Hello,
Really helpful if the mobile app’s vault search could include the “notes” field for a more comprehensive search experience.
Best Regard,
Jeny
@jeny38mark Welcome to the forum!
I moved your comment into a different feature request topic, that is more directly relevant to what you are asking for.
@user16 Moved your comment, as well.
“Identity” type entry
When you use the search feature, BW should search all fields values and field names.
In my Identity entry, i have a custom field, the default Notes field and an attachment. The custom field is named Passport. The field value is Passport. The Note field contains the word Passport. The attachment filename is Passport.jpg.
Search didn’t see any of these.
I had to add the word Passport to Identity “Title Name”, so BW can find it.
The search seems to work for other types of entries, but fails for Identity type.
Please search all fields. At least give the option.
@LampQuarter I moved your post into an existing feature request on the same topic. You can support this feature request by voting for it.
It will be great if the Bitwarden mobile apps include the same full-text search capabilities of the web app, desktop app, and browser extension. As this feature was requested a long time ago, does anybody know if devs are considering it? app:mobile
This is probably the thing that irritates me the most in Bitwarden. I store a lot of information in the notes field that lets me identify a website, and this way the mobile app is almost useless for me. Whenever I need to search for something I need to search on another platform, and then come back to the mobile app and inject the credentials there if at this point I still want to do that. Probably not, because when I’m already at my PC I probably also opened that site. I can’t understand why it hasn’t been implemented with the mobile app redesign.
Didn’t realise i need this until i actually need it today and its unavailable. I can login to webvault to do my search there but everything is too small there for my aging eyes. It would be nice if mobile clients not be treated as second class citizen. Added my vote.
I was surprised today when I discovered that Notes are not searchable in the mobile app. Neither are custom fields. Best I could do was insert my tags as a URL. Please implement Notes basic search.
I am extremely disappointed that this is not getting fixed. I do not view this as a feature request, this is a bug! The mobile app is unusable this way.
