Searching: Show which field(s) match, and a small sample

cmeeren
I love Zotero. I also love the way searching works in Mendeley, where you for each matched item can see the match highlighted in its context, whether that is title, author, abstract or indexed PDFs. This allows you to see at a glance the context of your match, and allows you to better judge whether or not that item is a good match.

This functionality is the primary reason why I have integrated Zotero into Mendeley. I mainly use Zotero, but I do all my searching in Mendeley. (Unfortunately, the pdf attachments are not always synced into Mendeley and thus not indexed, so this is not an optimal solution.)
