"Everything" Search Issues

Hi there,

I have been trying to use the search feature to look up key words to understand which files they come up in, and this search feature is not accurately showing responses. For instance, if I search a word even if I know it is in one text that text won't come up.

I have had a read of other forums on the topic and have attempted to fix up my indexing but am having the same issue of having many items (about 50%) not being indexed, and not resolving itself when clicking "reindex." Regardless, on some of these items I am searching, they still aren't returning the correct results even if the items are indexed.

Not sure what to do as it is inhabiting my research. Would appreciate any insight.

Warmly,
Hannah

    1) If you haven't yet, upgrade to Zotero 10, which completely overhauls full-text indexing and searching.

    2) Provide some examples with screenshots of what you're searching for, what's not being found, and the text in the document you're expecting it to match.
