helm-bibtex-additional-search-fileds does not work properly

Thanks for reporting this. I've never used the abstract field for searching because it would give me too many matches in most situations. I will have look as soon as I find time (which unfortunately may not be very soon).

Ok. That's not a big problem.

I am so grateful for this immensely useful package!

I am having precisely the same issue as Enrico68 except that I'm using "annotation" as the field instead of "abstract."

Tantalizingly, when I first modified my config with (setq helm-bibtex-additional-search-fields '(annotation)) it worked correctly, but when I closed emacs and returned, it stopped working.

My setup is comparable to Enrico68's. I am using GNU Emacs 26.3.

Please disregard the above comment. I was able to successfully resolve this issue by updating helm.

Finally got to test this and failed to reproduce this problem. Searing for content in abstracts works fine on my system. I'll close this issue but feel free to reopen if you have a reproducible minimal example.

Since bibtex-completion is using a cache, you have to force a reload of the bibliography after changing the value of bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields.
