Searching collection names?

2»
  • I'm also new to Zotero (also coming from Citavi) and I just spend half an hour trying to figure out how to search for a collection until I figured it wasn't possible. I will have to read up on why this is hasn't been considered for implementation in years, but for now I'll add my vote here: this would be a very useful feature.
  • I vote for this feature too!
  • I vote for this feature too! This is such an indispensable feature.
  • I also vote for this feature: searching in subcollection name.
  • I have a way that allows for quasi-subcollection searching, perhaps it helps those of you who need to search in subcollection.
    When I open an important subcollection, I add an item in the subcollection with the title: "Tag:[tag name] (instead of "tag name" you can put any tag you want. Then I tag this item with a real tag.

    When I search for this tag name either in title search or tag search, this item would come up. Through this item I can find the whole subcollection.
    Hope that helps.
  • BTW, they have implemented this feature in the iPad app. This is surprising. Why not on the desktop app?
  • @shivams, good to know. Thanks.
