The filter expression is matched against fields as selected in the filter options such as:

  • Search multiple or all vaults at once.
  • Field Options (Include Folder, Host, Username, etc.).
  • General Information (Domain, IP, etc.).
  • Contact Information (Name, Email, Phone number, etc.).

It is possible to exclude results by choosing to display entries that match certain criteria:

Keyboard shortcut

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F to quickly have access to the Search/Filter control. This can be disabled in File - Options - User Interface - Keyboard..

You can set the focus back on the Navigation pane by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L, this also can be disabled in the options.

Boolean filter

Here a few implementation notes for the Boolean filter:

  • We use the C# nomenclature (&& for AND, || for OR)
  • Evaluated left-to-right
  • No parentheses matching
  • Double-quotes (") are not required or removed, they are part of the text filter, do not use them unless you are looking for a double-quote.
  • Leading/trailing white-spaces are trimmed

Examples (this will work)

  • Boise && Laptop
  • Boise&&Laptop
  • Boise && Laptop
  • Baton Rouge || Boise && Laptop
  • Laptop && Baton Rouge

Examples (this will not work as expected)

  • Laptop && "Baton Rouge"
  • Will work but filter for the string "Baton Rouge" and not the string Baton Rouge
  • Laptop && (Baton Rouge || Boise)
  • Will work but filter for Laptop and the string (Baton Rouge || Boise)
