Does Zotero has the following features ?

Java Dev · September 11, 2018

Assume i have added 20,000 text file content as separate notes or page in Zotero. Now i want to search for a word or a comibation of words or sentence.

1. type-ahead search,
2. number of hits before hitting the search
3. auto-complete suggestion
4. faster search to result in less than second

example, - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U_fNIcudyQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KiJ4FMubDE&t=141s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UiAsDS1ZV4

Thanks.

Mostly no, to all four questions. Zotero can do some of those but not in the fast ways shown in the videos. And that's because Zotero is not meant to perform those functions specifically.

But great product for searching inside texts, so thanks for sharing.

Sure..Please consider the features in the future if possible. Believe it would be a great addition to Zotero.

gurdas, can you please consider the above suggestions for future implementation ?

gurdas, like me, is a Zotero user, not a developer. You can rest assured that the Zotero developers read every thread on these forums. Improved search results display is planned once Zotero moves to a different development platform from its current one, likely sometime this year.
