I would like to find all cards in a shared deck where the contents of two of their fields are equal.

Is this possible?

Not directly. Check [Searching - Anki Manual](http://docs.ankiweb.net/searching.html) for all the available search queries.

I think you can however export the notes as `.csv` and do it outside Anki.

Ok, thank you!  
I searched the manual beforehand but found nothing. I was hoping there was a hidden trick or something.
