get more fields with bibtex-completion-candidates

Question

In Helm-bibtex the function bibtex-completion-candidatesretrieves selected fields (authors, editors, title, year, type, and key of the entry) from the .bib file. Is there a way to make it retrieve additional fields (eg abstract or url fields) into the the second (alist) element?

Answer 1

See the documentation of the configuration variable bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields. Example:

(setq bibtex-completion-additional-search-fields '(keywords))
