Saved Search by Creator Type
I have a large collection of citations and many of the creators have multiple roles. For instance, Harald Ludwig is a book editor, an author, and a translator. I want to be able to setup a Saved Search where I can identify where Ludwig (or other creator) is an Author as opposed to another role --> where creator.firstName = Harald AND creator.lastName = Ludwig AND creator.creatorType = Author.
I want this so that I can perform bulk cataloging/description of these entries using Zutilo. Is there currently a way to achieve this in the desktop app?

If I am searching for book chapters by a particular author, Zotero returns unexpected results because it returns book chapters in books edited by that author but where the chapter is authored by someone else.
One thing to have on a long term wish list might be nesting of variables in the advanced search, to demonstrate visually how Creator contains Author, Book Author, and Editor. E.g.:
Creator
–Author
-Book Author
-Editor
This might be useful for other variables too.
