Search by Author

Shahar

I was trying to perform a search by author, as an easy way to look for duplicates, but could not find an Author field in the Search field options.
Could this be added ?
Thanks, Shahar

You can search by creator (which includes author, director, editor, etc) in an advanced search.

For duplicate detection I would recommend clicking on Creator at the top of the creator column in the middle pane to sort all the items in your library by creator.

edit: beaten re. 'creator' in advanced search ;-)

Tangentially related is the ability to search by field in the quick search bar: https://www.zotero.org/trac/ticket/942
