Search within the built-in editor?

nickschu · January 6, 2013

Hi,
I'm looking for a simple way to search within the built-in note-editor. The general search shows the note, when I'm searching for a word in it, but I can't find a "control-F" or something like that.
Greetings,
nick

A quick forum search led me to this thread: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11149/search-function-within-notes/. In it is this statement by Dan Stillman:

Search within notes is definitely planned. In the meantime, as an awkward workaround, you can right-click on the note, generate a report, and use Ctrl/Cmd-F, and then try to find the same place in the editable note. (Built-in search also works in HTML mode.)
