There can't be a winner. Make the abstract separately searchable is as
important as the annote field itself. And I think, it is a very important point
when using BD for e.g. scientific research.

Since I am not a programmer, I can to make a statement on this point. But when
making it possible to search the entire file content as well as skim notes, I
thought it would make sense (see above) to do this kind of search for
information which can be inserted directly in BD itself.
