    Yeah... that's it! Thank you very much...

    Hi, I've been looking for this around the forum, but I understand now that it is not possible to do, so I would like to second the motion to be able to:

    Search in individual notes
    searchword highlighting in global searches

    Is this maybe happening in the near future!?
    Has anybody found a workaround this?

    I use ZSA on a Mac (El capitan)
    Thank you

    please don't double post.
    Nothing new on this, no workarounds I'm aware of.
  • EugeniaCastro
    oh, I'm sorry about double posting ... I'm relatively new to forum's methodology

    Thank you so much for the fast response

    Does someone know something about current developments concerning this issue?

    I surely don't want to double-post but if this whole forum acts like a democracy system, where issues with the most votes get prioritized, I would like to cast my voice for this one!

    You can search within notes in Zotero 5.0, which was released yesterday.

    Oh my goodness, I started this thread in 2012 and am delighted this has now come to happen. Thank you to all the wonderful people who make Zotero work for the rest of us. I am right now going to DL 5.0. Donation coming soon, thanks again.

    (Allow me to temper the excitement a bit by noting that the current implementation is suboptimal. We're using the search plugin from the third-party note editor we use, and the current UI is a bit intrusive. But it does work, and we'll try to improve this functionality in the future.)
  • Ben Carver
    Well I've just tried it and it does perform searches, so enthusiasm barely tempered!

    So amazing, it works! I'm definitely in love with Zotero :P
