1.10-pre

I don't like the feature that searches all open databases to find an entry. I frequently have entries that have the same name, and even the same group, so there's no way to tell if the entry is from one database or the other when I'm doing autofill on a site. If the entries showed which database they're being sourced from that'd be one thing, but I don't see an option for that anywhere either. And I don't see any options for searching a single database either. I've pored over the settings in the app, and unless I'm missing something obvious, there's no setting to change this.

I've also searched on reddit and the Issues section here, and haven't found anything addressing my concerns.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Reproduce the autofill search with multiple open databases, then trace the search and database-selection entry points to determine where a single-database choice could be added. Done means users can restrict searches to one open database or identify the source database for matching entries.
