Feature request: Spotlight search....
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2007 10:15 am
This may be a tricky one, but it would be brilliant!
Would it be possible to do 'combined' Spotlight searches within Bookends? At the moment I am using "FoxTrot" to do searches in my articles (~1000 pdfs!), but the problem is, that when I do this I cannot limit my search to, say, a specific author, journal, year or whatever. However, Bookends has all these information, and as far as I understand it - it indexes the pdfs already, in order to find DOIs etc, and there is a already a 'Spotlight' search option in the search bar. However, I haven't found a way to combine a spotlight search, with say an author search... So something on the lines of:
[author]=rudensky AND [spotlight]=foxp3
Obviously support for extended (e.g. 'NEAR', 'AND OR', etc) boolean would be great as well!
Once again, thanks for a great program!
