Bitwarden indexes your vault using a [full-text search](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full-text_search){:target="_blank"} programming library called [Lunr](https://lunrjs.com/){:target="_blank"}. Lunr provides the ability to invoke high-performance search queries against your vault to quickly find what you need with great accuracy.
|
|
|
|
## Applications that use full-text search
|
|
|
|
The following Bitwarden applications provide full-text searching capabilities and are applicable to the information this article:
|
|
|
|
- Web vault
|
|
- Desktop applications
|
|
- Browser extensions
|
|
|
|
This article **does not** apply to the following Bitwarden applications, which provide only basic search capabilities:
|
|
|
|
- CLI
|
|
- Mobile apps
|
|
|
|
## Indexed Fields
|
|
|
|
The following fields from items in your vault are indexed and are searchable:
|
|
|
|
- `shortid` - First 8 characters of the item's id.
|
|
- `organizationid` - Id of the item's organization (if it belongs to one).
|
|
- `name`
|
|
- `subtitle` - Login username, card brand + last four, and identity name.
|
|
- `notes`
|
|
- `fields` - Name and value. Only "text" type field values are included.
|
|
- `attachments` - File name
|
|
- `login.username`
|
|
- `login.uris` - Only the URI's [hostname](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLHyperlinkElementUtils/hostname){:target="_blank"} value.
|
|
|
|
## Wildcard Searches
|
|
|
|
The asterisk character (`*`) provides the ability to perform wildcard searches in your vault. Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `*bitwarden`
|
|
- `bitwarden*`
|
|
- `*bitwarden*`
|
|
- `*bit*war*den*`
|
|
|
|
{% callout info %}
|
|
The following fields automatically include leading and trailing wildcards while performing normal search queries:
|
|
|
|
- `name`
|
|
- `subtitle`
|
|
- `login.uris`
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary to provide wildcards if you are searching for information in these fields.
|
|
{% endcallout %}
|
|
|
|
## Advanced Searches
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
- `>notes:something` - Search the notes field for the term "something".
|
|
- `>login.username:jsmith` - Search the username field on items of type login for the term "jsmith".
|
|
- `>+organizationid:*` - Search for all items that belong to an organization.
|
|
- `>-organizationid:*` - Search for all items that *do not* belong to an organization (items that you own).
|
|
- `>+foo bar -baz` - Search for items that must contain "foo", might contain "bar" and must not contain "baz".
