[Enhancement] Allow search not only on title but also on author and other content

[davidjaggi]

Currently, I need to remember the title of the publication. It would be nice to also see the year and authors of the paper and allow to search for them.

Good idea. Will implement something for this. I will include this in smart search. On 13 Jul 2022 at 11:57 AM +0400, djaggi @.***>, wrote:

+1 for this as well. I often search by author, so it was odd at first to not not see things come up when I put in the author's name.

+1 for this, please allow search by author.

Will be coming shortly!

Search and display the author and perhaps year would be amazing. I often search by author & year "Toomre 1977".

Display is important too, especially when you have multiple resources titled the name thing

Supported searching by author as well now!

works like a charm! Together with the year or citationkey and maybe journal title, it would be perfect <3

Interestingly, I noticed that the search seems to be case sensitive and I have to type the names lowercase, although the names are uppercase in the bib file. I.e., if the name is Example, it would only be found if I type example.

Ooh, interesting. Is this with or without the SmartSearch feature enabled in settings?

without the smart search. Unfortunately, I have so many items in the library that with it enabled, it takes too long to find anything :D

Quick question. Do you by chance have the index abstract option ticked? If so that's the reason behind poor performance in smart search. On 10 Feb 2023 at 11:06 AM +0400, reox @.***>, wrote:

I had both disabled. Some time last year I played around with it and had poor performance on my machine, but I can test again - maybe it has changed in between! Thanks for the fixes!
