Hi,

it would be great if one could select, which fields of the library should be searched, like you already implemented it with 'Title' or 'Person'. More specifically, I would like to search only within the keywords or personal notes. This would allow a more user-specific search. Searching 'any field' is in my case often to reduce the selection from 1000 to 100. Thats. however, only a limited help.

... or is that already implemented and I don't find it?

Best, flo

    Older versions of BibDesk allowed this, but the feature was seldom used. With the full Boolean searching and wildcards we have now, coupled with groups, I see no need to add this back in. Allowing it for arbitrary fields has some performance consequences, as well.
