Exclude group libraries in Word plug-in search

xxtraloud

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but cannot find any similar topic.188BET靠谱吗In the main Zotero app I can search in specific libraries by just selecting the one I'm interested in.In the Word plug-in when I am inserting or editing citations in the search bar, the search covers all libraries.

Following a discussion on this forum I moved many articles that I do not use often in group libraries, that solved the problem all filtering through many articles in one library.However since the plug-in searches across libraries I do get too many results, so searching the right article becomes burdensome.

My main question is if we can exclude group libraries from the search in the Word plug-in.188BET靠谱吗Or am I forced to export all group libraries outside Zotero and then re import whenever I need them?That does not seem very practical solution.

Thanks in advance!

188BET靠谱吗I don't know if something better is planned (I generally agree with your points) but you can currently use the classic word add-on (toggle in the cite preferences in Zotero), which works more like the regular Zotero interface.

thank you for the reply Adam, I have tried your suggestion but the classic Word add-on is rather clunky especially when inserting multiple citations it requires to use keyboard and mouse and too many clicks, the usability of the modern add-on is so much better.Would it be possible to maybe add a drop down to the modern add-on so we can choose a library or exclude group libraries?

Yes, something like that is planned.

Is there any update on this?188BET靠谱吗I don't see that option in my current zotero plugin.I have a lot of group libraries and some of them are large, making the search within the plugin slow.This feature would be really helpful.
