When a secret is created with this K/V :

Closing old issue. Searching the contents of secrets is incredibly taxing on both the Vault server and the client, as every secret has to be downloaded and held in cache in order to be searched. As such, only secret paths are searchable in Cryptr. A feature request to Hashicorp was opened a long time ago but has not received traction.
