Hello,
i have organiced a lot of passworts in different groups, and now i realiced that the search function is not able to search by group names.
It would be nice to enter the group name in the search function and that all entrys in the group are displayed.
Maybe you knwo a workaround or can add this feature in a newer version

    You can search for groups using Find (Ctrl+F), but it is probably just as easy to select the group.

    The 'Find' dialog has an option 'Group name'.

    Best regards,

      Hello. Please can we revisit this request.
      Instead of using the standard dialog box etc - can you please provide an option that can be typed directly into the search field.

      Example:
      I have my email included in an EMAIL group and also in several other social and website groups ( since we use email address for several weblogins etc ) . If I need to find my email password ( because it is a complex one created using keepass ) - I would like to search quickly in the search box - without the use of a mouse or forms or dialog boxes.

      Normally, a search for the email will result in a long list of data - including groups and subgroups that contain this info ( which is often enough to make is cross eyed for a few minutes ! ) Finding the right one is often like looking for a needle in a haystack.

      Instead, if we could just type something like the following into the search field:
      (groupname:Email) someone@gmail.com

      As a result, ideally, I would like the group name ( or subgroup name ) called EMAIL listed at the top of the list and containing the email 'someone@gmail.com'

    Add a tag to your email record. Maybe "maillogin".
    Ctrl F, maillogin, Enter
    Or Ctrl F, login, Enter

    cheers, Paul
