Non-stop "Initialising Search Index"

[arthur-albuquerque]

Hi, I just downloaded ZotHero and I might be doing something wrong. It just doesn't find any of my citations. Would you please help me?

Same here. We need a fix 😢

It works if Better BibTex is disabled in Zotero.
This seems to be an issue for Better BibTex rather than Zothero.

Same here. Have to restart Zotero every time for any changes to the libraries to be synced in the workflow.

[Miaoyifei-mz]

When I update Better BibTex to 5.2.138（The latest version，the problem goes away.(^▽^)

[dr-gu]

My Better BibTex version is 5.4.5, but this problem remains unsolved.

Restarting Zotero (quit, wait a few seconds, and reopen) should fix it.
