Is Zotero search not as good as Mendeley? Or I'm doing wrong?

Why when I search for a word within my library on Zotero, within sub-folders, it fginds nothing, and within my main library, it finds few results. Alternatively, with Mendeley it finds everything within each document in my library!
Am I doing something wrong? or this is a common problem in Zotero?

Thank,
Kamal

How exactly are you searching? -- Zotero has different settings in the quick search bar -- you'll want to set that to "Everything" if you want to include the text of files in the search.

Thanks Adamsmith !
I tried 'Everything', now it works even better than Mendeley.

Thanks!
