David Garrison Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I really like using the 'search all' feature to scan all of my resources in one spot, but am frustrated by what seems like a lack of functionality. I'm sure it's most likely something I'm doing wrong, or lack of knowledge on my part. There are two particular issues I'm running into with the 'search all' feature: 1) when looking at a resource that contains a hit, I can not do anything with that information other than read it. I can't click, right-click, triple-click, anything in it. I can't copy and paste out of it. I can't jump from the results to the actual entry in the resource. In order to do anything of these things, I have to open the particular resource and either perform a new search or find the specific entry I'd already found in the 'search all' feature. 2) it appears that, when there are a lot of hits, the results list is truncated. But there is no way to (easily) get to the hits that are not listing. Again, I am sure these are due to my lack of familiarity with the program or something I've done wrong, but this does significantly hinder the effectiveness of this tool for me. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Very soon the window will allow selection, copy and paste, and more. In the meantime, if you ever want to see those particular tool results, just double-click or option-click on the name of the tool in the browser. You'll see immediately the full results within that tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
