Feature Request: Search more fields #86

Closed NoxMortem closed 6 years ago

NoxMortem commented 6 years ago

It looks like only the author and title are searched but this plugin would be extremly more helpful if it could search more fields (like key, abstract, etc.). Very often I want to autocomplete a key, but it only autocompletes if I know the author or I want to pickup a keyword and do not remember the exact title anymore.

@techreport{Ablub2123,
timestamp = {2017-11-05T16:31:38Z},
title = {Blub 2123},
abstract = {xxxyyyyzzzz},
author = {A, Blub}
}

Is not found with @Ablub but only with Blub and not with @xxx either.

The latest version in the master development branch now searches on key, title, and authors - but it needs testing so if you can try the dev version that would be great.

I downloaded 0.7.1 from the release -> future tags and decompressed into ~.atom\packages\autocomplete-bibtex.

I hope this was the right way to update to the master development version. It looks like it is searching the said fields, which easens my work a lot.

Update: @mangecoeur Wow. This improves the package so much. It is incredibly how big the difference is simply by adding the additional fields for the search! Thank you so much!
