Full text searches in a group library on the Zotero website: Which fields?

Stefan Lucke · September 10, 2016

The Zotero group libraries on the web offer a search box with two options: "Search Title, Creator, Year" and "Search Full Text".
The full text search seems to NOT find any terms that are stored in the abstract field. This makes me wonder: Which fields does this full text search hit against?

I could not find an answer in the documentation. All the pages I found there were about searches in the Zotero app.

Thanks for help!

The indexed full text of the attached files, provided you have full text sync enabled (the default). Better online search is planned

Is there a way to make the abstract field searchable. It is working on the standalone version

not currently, not. My understanding is that better search on the website is planned.
