New entry not possible if search is 'active'

[DKX47]

When you searched via search bar, it's not possible to add new entries until you clear the search results (doesn't matter if you got any results). Is this somehow intended?

Expected Behavior

Allow adding new entries even if a search is active.

Current Behavior

"Add new entry" button is greyed out.

This is intentional. Press escape to cancel the search or hit the x button.

OK. May I ask why?

I can't think of a specific one come to think of it besides group scope. I'll give this a looksie.

Thanks for considering to "fix" this. Let me add that there is no issue with group scope. When searching, you are still within a specific group and hitting the "add" button will lead to no surprises.

As for the use case:
I often start searching for an entry on an open web site and noticing that there is none yet, I want to create a new one. Not being able to just hit "add" but having to clear the search before is an additional and IMHO unnecessary step.

I was thinking about this when using keepassxc myself.

Creating a new entry while searching should set the new entry Title to the search text.

Ex: I search for Github, no entry available, I press Add Entry, the entry Title is automatically set to Github

That would be really convenient.
