Upgrade StorageInteractive fuzzy searching through index with preview
What about an interactive fuzzy-search functionality with preview? I liked the workflow described at this [1] Hacker News post (and illustrated with this [2] animated GIF). The fuzzy-searching is based on fzf [3].

adamsmithAs I allude to in that thread, the problem isn't actually the search functionality but the GUI issue. Zotero simply doesn't have a good place to display that information and the current UI framework isn't really flexible enough to provide that, which is why this will have to wait until the move to a new platform (Electron) likely some time next year.

DavidovitchThanks for clarifying that, I must have missed your comment/allusion.
