Hi, I am a developer and new to Zotero.

First of all, thanks to the effort to build such a software. I am working on a side project to save good articles I read on the web. I do know there is an official Zotero Connector extension for it, but I want it to be more flexible. e.g. customizing title, choose item type and take abstract note before I hit the save button.

Also I hope I don't need to keep Zotero Desktop open (On my MBP2015, it fails to open).

Anyway, I'm able to create an item according to the URL now, and I can have the item id as the created operation is done. The problem is, as I work on another devices, I want to know the page has been saved to Zotero, or at least to be capable of determining whether it is, yet I find it impossible to do so.

I see that item search endpoints have an option: `qmode`, which can be `titleCreatorYear` and `everything`. I also read this on the document: "Searching of other fields will be possible in the future." 

However, I found the latest discussion was quite long ago. Just curious about the schedule it will get started. In my use case, `url` and `abstractNote` are perhaps the most essential.

Thanks again for the efforts!
