Keepass QuickSearch Article for: Keepass users Difficulty: Easy Importance: Just makes searching passwords easier ![]() I've found a new one I like a lot. It is QuickSearch. QuickSearch provides us with an incremental search when we look for passwords. In a regular search, you type your term in the search field, press enter and see what you get. In an incremental search, a list appears and shrinks as you type. You can then select the one you want.
For example using QuickSearch, if I type:
"Scr" I get
![]() Adding i for "scri" I get
![]() Finally, adding v for "scriv" I get
![]() and can choose which one I want.
QuickSearch OptionsQuickSearch adds an options menu to the regular Keepass options menu (1). I adjust the color (2) and eliminated the old Keepass search box (3).
![]() In addition, you can configure which fields to use in the search, by pointing to the search glass, which will change to a configuration gear. I just search the title and URL, but you can add the notes field or whatever else you need to find what you want quickly.
![]() Keepass will still allow you to use CTR-F to do a deep search that is configurable to search notes or other fields if you needed to do a more complex search.
InstallationYou can download QuickSearch here:
Download the QuickSearch.plgx file and copy it to the plugins folder of the Keepass program folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\KeePass Password Safe 2\Plugins
You will need to tell Windows that yes, you really do want to copy a file into the program folder.
Then restart Keepass. That's all there is to it.
Of course, my clients can ask me to do it and I will. Date: July 2019
