If you have multiple vaults, Enpass searches only in the currently selected vault. To search more than one vault, select All Vaults at the top left of the Enpass window.

By default, Enpass searches all Items. If you want to restrict searches based on a Category or Tag selected in your sidebar, go to Settings > General and clear the Search in all items checkbox.

When choosing which fields to search, here's what each choice will provide:

  • Choosing Titles will yield search results based only on the item titles.

    • If you search for "Gmail," you'll likely see only your Gmail accounts.

  • Choosing Fields will yield search results from any fields except the password fields.

    • If you search for "Gmail," you'll see your Gmail accounts, but also any items where the email field includes your Gmail account.

  • Choosing Passwords will yield search results based only on the contents of your passwords.

    • If you search for "Kt@34HK," you'll see only items that have passwords containing that string of characters.

Searching in the Enpass browser extension pop-up menu

When activated in a username or password field, the Enpass Autofill pop-up automatically displays a list of items that match the title or URL of the website you're visiting. When activated in a credit card field, the pop-up automatically displays items that include credit card numbers. 

If you have multiple vaults, Enpass will only search in the vault currently being displayed. You can select a vault, or All Vaults, from the top-left corner of Enpass.
