Hello AnkiDroid developers,
I would like to request a feature that allows users to choose whether multiple selected tags in the AnkiDroid browser apply an OR or AND search condition.
Current Behavior
In the Browse view, when filtering cards by multiple tags, the default behavior is an OR search (e.g., ("tag:marked" OR "tag:type")). This means that cards matching either tag appear in the results.
Requested Feature
It would be beneficial to have a setting in the options menu that lets users choose between:
- OR (default behavior) – Cards that contain at least one of the selected tags.
- AND – Cards that contain all selected tags.
Why This is Useful
- Some users may want to narrow down their search to only cards that match all selected tags.
- This behavior is already possible using manual search syntax (
tag:marked tag:typefor AND), but having a built-in toggle would improve usability. - Desktop Anki allows for flexible search behavior using the search bar, and adding this option in AnkiDroid would create a more consistent experience across platforms.
Would it be possible to implement this as an optional setting in a future update?
Thank you for your consideration!
