Upgrade StorageProblem with Search
Hello,
I am having a problem with searching. I added two new .pdf files to one of my entries all of which are searchable in my .pdf program. However, when I tried searching for one of the terms used in the documents, nothing appeared. I tried other words specific to those documents and still nothing. I am now a bit concerned that the search feature if faulty and not picking up all the relevant search terms in other documents and entries as well. I would appreciate any help resolving this.
I am using Zotero 3.0.3 and Firefox 9.0.
Thanks so much!

2. There are two possible reasons for this: a) Either you're performing the search wrong, or b) the pdfs aren't indexed for whatever reason.
For a): Note that the regular search box just searches for title, author, and year - you have to switch it to everywhere or use advanced search to search full texts.
For b): select the pdf attachement in Zotero - on the right you will see some descriptions of it including a Indexed: Yes or Indexed: No - what does it say?
