Paper search according to collections

mechatak
I have put my library in many colletions and sub-collections (like folders). The search in zotero works perfectly but it does not tell me which collection the paper is residing in. Also there are some papers which I know I have not put in any collections, how do I know which ones are those?
Can the bar which gives list of title, creator etc also have a column for collections? This way we know which papers are in which collections.

best wishes,
Tauseef

    I also really like the idea of being able to see what collection (if any) an item is part of. Since tags allow for easy organization by subject matter, I use collections for easy organization based on other criteria - for example, having a collection for all the references for a current paper/presentation I'm doing, etc. Being able to easily see where else I've been using/saving a particular item would be really nice. I know the "Related" tab seems to provide this capability, but I think its use is mostly limited to relating documents that reference each other since there's no way to provide a criterion for how one item is reated to another.

    If there's demand, we could probably have a column in the items list for a comma-separated list of collections the item belongs to.

    An optional column indicating to what collections an item belongs would be GREAT. Apparently it was thought in 2008, but I can not find that. Is it available?
