Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/bitwarden/android/issues/6262

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open the Bitwarden iOS app
  2. Log in and navigate to the Vault
  3. Enter "Microsoft test" in the search bar (two words separated by a space)
  4. Observe the search results

Expected Result

Search should support multiple keyword matching and display entries containing both “Microsoft” and “test” at the top of the results, consistent with the behavior in the desktop app or browser extension.

Actual Result

When entering Microsoft test, the Android app returns no results because its search functionality only supports continuous text matching and does not support multiple keywords. This makes it harder to find target entries, especially when a large number of entries are stored.

Screenshots or Videos

No response

Additional Context

The Android app’s search functionality is notably weaker compared to the desktop/browser extension, lacking multi-keyword support. With a large number of entries, this significantly impacts search speed and overall user experience. It is recommended to bring mobile search logic in line with the desktop version by adding multi-string matching support.
