You can search on the following indexed fields in your items:

• All Items: name
• Logins: username, URI
• Cards: brand, last 4 digits of the card number
• Identities: name

Leading and Trailing Wildcards are included in Searches. For example, searching for googl will return items where the search fields contain google, googling or googlemail.

In this example, enter 21 in the Search Field to return all items where one of the fields being searched contains 21, in this case a Card item with 21 in the last 4 digits of the card number.

Search results are sorted based on a scoring algorithm, based on the number of fields that a search term appears in.
