Quickaccess search should search in folder names

Feature requests
1

Running Pro v5.3.2 with Chrome extension 5.3.2.

We’re using folders extensively for our customers. We strongly rely on the folder names being the customer names for search purposes as we have e.g. around 70 passwords in total that match search terms such as “vsphere”.

Using a web browser & the regular web UI we can easily search for “customername vsphere” & quickly get down to the one entry for that particular customer. However, this doesn’t work in the Chrome extension. Searching for “vsphere” only lists all the 70 entries or so, as expected, but a search for “customername vsphere” (copy-pasted from the web UI’s search) yields no results at all, unless “customername” is part of an entry’s description/user name/URL. In other words, the browser extension doesn’t search in folder names.

Is this something that simply doesn’t work? That hasn’t been implemented yet? Or worse, is it something that was considered but intentionally not implemented?

Thanks!

In the browser extension quick access to my knowledge it has not been done yet. It’s possible to do, but has not been prioritized I believe.

Thanks for the quick reply. I haven’t found a feature request post for it either, otherwise I would have already voted in it. Bummer.

You can create one using the “feature request” template on the community forum, I’ll check with the front end team what’s the effort.

I’ve just tried, but I’m not allowed to create polls (yet?).

I’m still not allowed to create polls. Is there something that can be done about it? I would still like to create that new feature request.

Or should I create it without the poll & someone else (an admin?) can add the poll later?

Poll added & topic transformed in feature request.

If you could apply the template we are following usually when creating new feature request, that would be awesome.

Thank you very much!

I actually tried to be a good forum citizen & start a new topic in “feature-requests” that used the template, but I ran into the aforementioned “you’re not allowed to create polls” error message upon posting. I still have saved it in my drafts.

Thanks for the feedback. There might be a constraint related to the age of your account.

Remy updated your trust level, you can give in another shot and let us know if you are still encountering the issue.

Again, thank you very much! Posting worked now. The new poll is here. You can move this one here back over the other section, I guess.

This is exactly the case we have ourselves. A search in the Web UI like “Customer1 vSphere” works quite well but not always perfectly. It would be essential to have the same search behaviour in the browser extension, where folder names are ignored at the moment.
