Show library results when searching in collection
I have a lot of collections in Zotero Standalone, each with relatively few items. When I work on a topic, I usually have a collection selected dedicated to that topic, but I often want to search my library to see whether I already have a certain paper as I'm browsing the literature online. Currently this involves:
- Select My Library
- Type in search terms in search box
- Select original collection
It would save me a lot of headache if it would be possible somehow to search the entire library, even when a collection is selected. Any ideas? One option would be to just include the library search results below the collection search results in the center pane (e.g. using a divider, and perhaps greying out the library results).

adamsmithI assume you've thought of this & it's not much more convenient, but FWIW, advanced search always searches the entire library.

RintzeYeah, that's not any faster.
