For example:

I have this structure:

Customers
.....THUU
..........Users
..........SMB
..........Certificates
.....HHTG
..........Users
..........Certificates

Now i would like to find an entry in Customers/THUU/Users/SMB with the user "veeam", which also exists in other folders/customers.
In Keepass 2.x I would type the following in the search bar: THUU veeam
And I get my results, because the full path to the entry is also searched/screened.

But KeePassXC doesn't find an entry, because the entry is not directly in the THUU folder, instead it is in a sub(sub)folder of it.

This greatly reduces the productivity of the search.

Maybe this co-relates a bit to issue #9574

Use the group filter, g:THUU. Read the user guide for more information on search.

Use the group filter, g:THUU. Read the user guide for more information on search.

This is also not working because the group filter only finds direct children.

okay thank you this is working - seems like the search function is inconveniant and unlogical.
Inconveniant, because it takes more time to enter the complex string, than to simply scroll to the folder.

too bad

we search for entries not groups. The way we handle it is far more robust than keepass2. If you want you can save the search with the group as a prefix and recall it whenever you want. Thanks.
