Feature request: global search
Hello
I have a suggestion for enhancing the application: introducing a global search feature. This functionality would greatly benefit users by allowing them to search within all opened articles simultaneously.
Currently, when I need to find specific information or quotations for my bibliography (but I don't remember which article include selected quote), I have to manually open each article and use Ctrl + F to search within them. It would be much more efficient if we had a global search option, similar to the one found in Visual Studio Code, where I could simply use Ctrl + Shift + F to search across all files in one place.
I believe implementing this feature would greatly improve the user experience.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to implement this separately for open files. (ctrl+shift+f in VS Code searches through all files in the currently open folder, so that's approximately the same behavior as Zotero's "Everything" search.
Search results in text currently don't show with a preview, but that's planned -- no ETA.
