The one feature I still need to use Mendeley for
I'm now happily running the Mac client, 5.0.97-beta.27, in the new interface wit the PDF reader. There is one thing I still reliably go back to Mendeley for: full text search. I'd love the search bar to search PDF text, not just metadata.
Other Mendeley features that help me make sense of my collection that I find I'm missing:
- a "recently read" list really helps me find the things I'm working on right now
- Similarly for "recently added." I can sort My Library reverse by date added, though not on iOS, and the sort setting doesn't always seem to stick between sessions.
- A "favorite" or "star" feature that is sort of a quick "add to favorites list." I used this to manage my reading list, and I find explicitly moving items into and out of my reading list collection is a lot more overhead
Thanks for all your hard work -- Zotero has become a reasonable replacement for Mendeley just in the last few months, and I'm otherwise happy to move over.

Amazing! Thanks so much.
Also finding that double-arrow thing on IOS is a great help.
