How to Find Words in Browse Mode?

Anki Help

Hello!

Is there a shortcut, option or addon to Find words in a card, when in Browse Mode?

My screen just shows “Cut”, “Copy”, “Paste”…

Highlight Search Results in the Browser

Thanks for reminding me it existed.

Thanks, but that’s not exactly what I’m looking for…

I don’t want to highlight the searched words, because then I will end up filtering the cards that have that word.

What I need is to be able to click on a card via Browse, and within the front or back editor, search for a desired word or expression, like what we do in Word documents or browsers (using the shortcut keys Ctrl+F). I’d like to do this without typing the word in the Browse’s “Search card/notes”.

There isn’t a feature like that – and I’m unaware of any add-ons. I would suppose that’s mostly because you ordinarily won’t have so many words in a Note that you can’t find the word at a glance.

Probably your easiest workaround is to copy your lengthy text out into a text/word processor program, and search there.

True Danika, I did exactly that a few times with my lenghty cards. I was just trying to shorten the process. Thanks

extended editor for field (for tables, search&replace, …) adds a button (“TM”) to open the field in TinyMCE.

the addon Search Bar seems relevant.

problem: it hasn’t been working over the last year for recent anki versions. i made a fixed version that I could upload next month (and it shouldn’t be too hard to add a context menu entry that reads the current selection).

I think there’s another older addon available that offers the same function, maybe a paid addon on some patreon from before 2020. I don’t remember.

using my addon “extended editor” should work in general but has the downside that it only works for one field at a time.

Thanks, this is the solution that came closest to what I needed, so far.

Thanks, I tried this addon, but it really didnt’t worked in my 23.12.1 Version. Hope you can upload the fixed version!
