I always name my Bitwarden credentials the same :
SERVICE NAME + login + login initials

Let's say I have a johndoe@gmail.com account.

In Bitwarden this entries will be named as
"GMAIL johndoe jd".
Easy.

If I search for "GMAIL jo..." it works fine.

But... if I ever want to search "GMAIL jd", then it fail to find any match, like there is no entry with "GMAIL" and "jd" in its name.

It feels useless and frustrating.

Also it would be useful to be able to sort search result by domain, entry name, or login.

When you are looking for GOOGLE or GMAIL in a credential list, you may search your credentials for one of your Gmail account, or your credentials for any other site using your @gmail adress.
Sorting in a way or another seems an obvious stuff to do, but I see no option to do that.

So in short, sorting stuff and better search would help a lot.
