Upgrade StorageIdentifying collection in which item resides after search
I don't know if Zotero can't do this, or I haven't been able to find how to do it. I'm using the Zotero 4.0.26.4 plugin in Firefox running in Linux. I have "recursiveCollections" set to true.
Say I know I have a paper somewhere in my library, but can't recall in which collection/subcollection. I search for it using the search field, and find it in the list on the right. Now I want to now in which collection or subcollection it actually resides, because (for example) I want to add a new item there.
How do I get that information? If I right-click on the item after searching I don't get any option that will show me where it resides in my library! If I click on advanced search instead of using the search field, I still cannot do it. If I double-click on the item after search, it becomes highlighted in my library but in the "root collection" (that is in "My library").
For some reason, I need to do this a lot and it frustrates me. If it's actually not possible, I would request it as a new feature.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I suspect there's a bug somewhere, so I'll keep an eye to see if I can trigger that behaviour again.
