2a. The search panel

The Search Panel can be opened by doing a right-click on the extension's book icon, and selecting "Search in dataset..." : You can also open it with a shortcut : it's alt-Q by default, but if it does not work or if it conflicts with other shortcuts you might have, you can set up a custom shortcut.

Right-click on the icon to open the context menu

A dialog box will pop up :

(1) Start typing text in the search bar to look for items.

• Current searched fields are title, year, tags, and authors' last names.

• Note : the search will only match one field at a time - so, for example, looking for an author's name + a year won't work. Multi-field search will be available soon - stay tuned !

(2) Navigate through the results list using Tab or up/down .

(3) Select an item with left-click or Enter.

• In default mode, selecting an item will render its metadata, along with options to copy its citekey, navigate to the item's Roam page, import its metadata, and see its attached PDF + notes.

• If Quick Copy mode is enabled (top-left), the item's citekey will be copied to the clipboard and the search panel will close.
