[bug] search cant find half bolded strings

If you use bold to highlight a word or an ending, you wont be able to find it. For example, searching "this learning" will not find cards with

  • this learning is good
  • this learning is good

I understand this is a limitation of text being stored in html, but its a shame. I rather being able to search than to have highlights. Is there a fix for this or should i just not use bold?

Until we see #1085 implemented, I think a viable option is to write an add-on that strips HTML on the fly while searching (Will make things slower, but I think it’s possible)

Happy this is already considered and that addon would be great until this is fixed

I will stop using bolding in the meantime until one of those exists

Thanks!

Search in formatted text in any fields by Arthur Milchior

Thank you! This works really well!

This add-on’s allow to search in any field as in the search field. There is a cost, the search column of the browser will contains extra data. It means that you’ll be able to use full search in ankidroid, and probably in IOS.

I dont understand this part. I dont see anything new in the sort field. What is the search column?
