Kee search doesn't find entries with blank URL

Kee browser extension
1

Kee 3.2.7, Firefox 67.0.1, KeePass 2.42.1

Kee’s search seems to ignore entries in the database that have no URL in the record. Just wondered if this is intended behavior.

Thanks,

I had been puzzling over why certain entries weren’t showing up in the browser extension for some time now and just realized this is the cause. Shouldn’t it be possible to search your entire password database, not just entries that have a URL, when finding passwords within the browser? After logging in, the extension could update the entry to include the correct URL, but I can’t see any reason why these entries should be invisible by default from the browser.

I fully agree.
This also prevents to find entries not related to web pages
like passwords for local tools.
It would still be fine to copy the password from such entries to the clipboard
and paste them in the tool.
I use KeePass itself for this purpose of course.

I would like to revive this because I also find this behavior strange and would expect Kee to list all entries and add the URL for the entry that I pick.

I’m not especially interested in replacing the search feature of the password manager within Kee but I agree that as part of a “save/update entry” workflow, it would be ideal if there were a slightly easier way to assign a URL to an existing entry.

It could save a copy/paste step, reduce some social engineering attack vectors via process simplification, increase form field match accuracy by saving the details of the fields that a user typed into and aid with migration from older tools or workflows that resulted in many credentials having no URL.

I’m not sure whether this is the highest priority task to focus on at the moment. However, I’ll definitely be bearing it in mind when exploring ways to improve the “save/update entry” workflow - something I intend to at least give some thought to later this year.
