Upgrade Storage[Feature Request]: show all search results in desktop Zotero like iPad Zotero does
My use case: Some PDFs contain symbols that are internally ASCII sequences. Finding other occurrences of some symbol in the same PDF involves selecting the symbol and copying it, which yields the ASCII sequence (something like "C-"), and then pasting that sequence into the search field. Then, it takes some trial-and-error to find the correct sequence, because of the symbol selection involving neighboring symbols, spaces, superscript/underscript, etc.
The trial-and-error part of the search is easier to do on the iPad version of Zotero, because of the way it shows all the search results at once: it immediately gives you a good idea of whether the searched ASCII sequence is appearing in the right contexts, and allows you to see which of the results is most interesting.
In comparison, the desktop version of Zotero makes me jump around blindly, to see whether results make any sense, and then to see which of the results is the one I actually want.
So it would be great if the desktop version of Zotero showed a list of all the search results at once, just like the iPad version does.
