Search KeePassXC for password?
I got a weird spam/ransom email claiming that I've been compromised by the leak of a password that I definitely recognize as one that I have used (it is an 8 character random string, so they didn't just guess correctly).
The actual ransom note is not that compelling -- "I have used your password, abc123 to hack your computer and now I have all your dirty photos which I will publish if you do not transfer US $819 into my bitcoin wallet immediately. I will also tell everyone about the piquant (you know what I mean) sites you have been visiting." -- but I'd like to double check that I'm not still using the password anywhere.
It has been a few years since I finally switched over to a password manager -- first KeePass, now KeePassXC -- and started using long, unique passwords and I'm reasonably confident this particular password is not still in use, but I'd like to be sure.
It looks like KeePass included a way to search for a password:
Search KeePass for Password but I don't see anything comparable in KeePassXC.
I could export the whole password database to a csv but that seems excessive and potentially dangerous. Can I search my KeePassXC database for a particular password?

It's a common scam at the moment, try haveibeenpwned.com & see if you have a recognised leak. That may at least narrow it down.

You can open your KeePassXC database in KeePass and search for the password: it is the same database format. Otherwise, you can do as you say with exporting to CSV.

In KeePassXC it was implemented with version 2.4 (currently in beta).
Alternatively you can use KeePass in the meanwhile.
