Allow regular expressions in the search for PDF files

iagogv

Add the option "Use regular expressions" to the other three options to search in PDFs ("Highligh all", "Match case", "Whole words") would be a very nice feature.

Yeah, I would also appreciate to see this feature. Is it even possible to use regex to search in pdfs at the moment?

It's available in the advanced search, i.e. across all PDFs. I don't think within a specific PDF, no.

Ah you are right, I just found it, here's a screenshot of the exact setting in the "Advanced Search" window (it is pretty hard to find):

In Zotero it is called "Regexp".
