I am migrating from another application to Bitwarden.
Iām really frustrated by the fact that we canāt :
sort the results (by date would be logical, choosing would be the best).
the search field is also very bad and frustrating (if I type 2 keywords, I will get all results for each one of the keyword, that doesnāt make sense to any normal need of search). Even full-text-search can not accept request that match with 2 conditions ā¦
Itās 2021, the competition is here, and I donāt understand why such a subject is not treated more quickly.
You might be misinterpreting the search operation. The default search will perform an AND conditional search on your two terms first, returning those results, and then it will perform an OR conditional search and return those matches next.
You can also perform an AND only search on two terms using the syntax (except on BW mobile apps):
For tonight, I decided to purge all old entries from my previous software, I will re-export all once cleaned from it. Function as ordering with ālast useā is vert helpful in cleaning operation. Hope it will be provided in bitwarden in a near futur.
If you want to do substring searches, you will also need to use wildcard characters. For example, if you want to find any entries beginning with eu.api, then type it like this +eu.api*. If you want to search on anything that ends in gmail.com, then type it like this: +*gmail.com. And donāt forget to start the search expression with the > character!
Each word you type in should narrow the search, not be an āorā function and expand it to show more results with each word you type into the search bar. And yes it should search each field. Or you could have both search options available with a button or setting.
Yes I meant that without typing the special characters it should narrow the search with each word typed, not add more results. Or maybe let you set a pref as to how youād prefer to search. I see that the results are now sorted AND first then the ORs. That helps too. I just like the simplicity of how one searches in Mac OS: the more words the more criteria have to be met to stay on the list.
I second this. A lot of my financial logins use āfakeā domain names that do not include the name of the institution. So, I put that info in the notes field. But, if I search on āAcme Bankā it wonāt find it, even though itās in the notes field.
Do you know if the search function is compatible with the new account switching function? Itās a pretty large change from what I know of how Bitwarden works, but if it is compatible, Iāve noticed some people who should know that.
Well, itās going to be a lot of work to get the switcher fully-featured lol. But I think this is one area that will make Bitwarden shine against the competition.
I wouldnāt usually post a general link like this but if you look at [Contentsā>Vault], it shows you all of Bitwardenās separate features and is pretty useful to know if you arenāt making use of something that you might actually like to. That video is from the search help page, I believe.
I agree that it could be made much more clear, but to search Notes fields, it works best if you use Full-text Search methods, which are explained here:
From my general perusing of the GitHub page, the mobile side is even more active than the browser and desktop sides. The general problem with devices is that itās hard supporting so many different ones on general like that, but this is a common issue and not Bitwarden-specific. Itās why Apple gets touted as āsimplerā, but yet, if you join iOSās beta, you might need to make a bug report for consistent Bitwarden crashes! Now, imagine all the different OSās and hardwares that need supported and you have millions of problems to solve, just like the example I mentioned.
But if you have a recent Samsung, Iām the guy to ask about getting Bitwarden working.
