Search option to include groups by default

[oceanBT]

Summary

I know the search prefix "group:", but it would be a cool feature if you could configure whether the groups should always be searched as well.

Examples

Context

I tend to group my passwords using the grouping feature, so when searching it would be more useful for me to have a hit on a group rather than a single entry. Would really make my life a lot easier now I've invested in the structure of keepass over the years. Thank you!

Agree, I've seen this issue come up a few times. My use-case; I have a list of groups which all have the same entries named SSH, HTTP, Wifi etc. so searching for the group is the only way. Seems odd that it's not searchable by default.

'm using the KeePassXC search quite a lot, I'm using g:/something (/ is important), u:someuser, p:somepw a lot. For it would be most often useful, to not have to search twice if I want to find every entry that has a specific string somewhere (title, user, password, note, URL, path (group), every other field). I can the filter it more precisely if I get to many entries. For me having at least the possibility to include the path (groups) by default would be wonderful!

Indeed very usefull UX request. I have my passwords grouped in many groups too.

It would be nice if Ctrl/Cmd+F starts search in the current group and its child-groups by prepending g:mygroup the same way as it is in Slack/Mattermost and some other apps.

If you desire that behavior you can enable group scoped search. Click the icon to the left of the search bar and choose this option.
