User level: Beginners

Description

It would be great if we could search for entries.

In v2.3.x, the only search you can do is to filter by tag or password strength.
When you have more than 100 entries in your vault, even if they are well tagged, it’s not easy to find the entry you are looking for.

A search by url/email/username would be great.

Benefit / value

We could find quickly the entry that we need.

Risk / caveats

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the existing tag and password-strength filtering, then trace how vault entries expose URL, email, and username fields; the feature is done when users can search those fields and quickly find the matching entry.
