Bitwarden is very slow to autofill with a website with hundreds of username

[p1nkyy]

Steps To Reproduce

I have one website that has more than 100 credentials saved. Bitwarden usually loads fine and auto-fill works instantly in the previous version. After the last update, it takes several seconds for Bitwarden to auto-fill or to do search in the search column when in this particular website only.

Expected Result

Instant auto-fill when I click 'auto-fill'

Actual Result

The add-on takes several seconds to fill it out.

Screenshots or Videos

Would love to attach a screen record but so hard because I need to blur some parts of the screen that shows sensitive info.

Additional Context

The site is a site for online library. It has a main portal and each libraries has their own sites which has the same address, only the beginning is different. (Main portal is: Overdrive.com; individual library i.e: lapl.overdrive.com, nypl.overdrive.com, and so on)

Issue Tracking Info

• [X] I understand that work is tracked outside of Github. A PR will be linked to this issue should one be opened to address it, but Bitwarden doesn't use fields like "assigned", "milestone", or "project" to track progress.

Hi there!

Thank you for reaching out to Bitwarden Support. It seems like after some recent changes, the extension item search gets very slow if a large number of items matches a single URI.

As a workaround until a fix gets released, you could delete only the URI string for those items (either manually or using our CLI tool), and then search for the entry (https://bitwarden.com/help/searching-vault/#full-text-search) and use the autofill button for this particular site (https://bitwarden.com/help/auto-fill-browser/#manually-auto-fill).

Thank you for your patience. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Thanks for responding. Some questions:

1. Is there a consequences if I don't have the URI string for these items?
2. Is this on Bitwarden's agenda to fix? Cos if it's too much hassle with deleting URI string, I will just wait for a fix instead.

1. Is there a consequences if I don't have the URI string for these items? They won't get suggested for autofill when you land on that page.

2. Is this on Bitwarden's agenda to fix? The issue has been notified to the engineering team. Unfortunately, I can't provide you an ETA for its resolution.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you in the meantime.
