4. BUG FIX FOR ADVANCED SEARCH
Zotero version 2.0.9 contains a bug: the advanced search does not allow for searching the group libraries, only private libraries. A bugfix for this problem is made available here. The file zotero.jar has been updated and should be downloaded:
Important: Make sure that when you save the file, you select the type "all files" and give the filename the extension ".jar". The default is to download it as type compressed (zipped) file, but this will not have the desired result.
The downloaded file should replace the one found in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings[user_name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles[random_number].default\extensions\zotero@chnm.gmu.edu\chrome
Note: this updated version of zotero.jar is intended for use with zotero version 2.0.9. For details, and for other versions besides 2.0.9, pleae refer to
