Is there some way to search through Web link attachments (URLs or titles)?

Of course, I could open the sqlite database and search using SQL, but is Zotero search engine able to do such search?

So, Zotero developers encourage opening and using SQLite database? @dstillman

(you know this isn't the case, please just re-up your thread if you're not getting an answer).

Both URLs and Titles of link attachments are searched and found in "All Fields and Tags" mode in quick search. Attachment titles (including for links) are also found in "Title" search in Advanced Search (though don't appear to be found in title/creator/year search in quick search).

I don't think, though, there's a way to _just_ search URLs and titles of linked attachments.

_just_ search URLs and titles of linked attachments

This is exactly what I am asking for.

You can use the Weavero plugin to filter the Web Link attachments and then use the Quick Search to search in them:

Thanks! I would prefer not having to add new plugins (even if they seem so interesting and useful as this one) for so basic functionalities as the one I was asking for.
