Searching for notes that contain a semicolon anywhere in a specific field

I was looking for notes that contain a semicolon anywhere in a specific field by using:

fieldname:;

Maybe I didn’t understand the manual right or it is different with something like a semicolon?

(Searching - Anki Manual)

Limiting to a field

You can also ask Anki to match only if a particular field contains some text.

front:*dog* find notes with Front field containing dog somewhere.

Ah, I see, I forgot, that html contains a lot if semicolons. Is it possible to confine it to non html semicolons only?

No answer so far means, there isn’t any solution for that?

Maybe you could export to a text file without HTML, then search in an editor.

OK, I take it that there’s no magical trick within the card browser search. Exporting would be to complicated, so I have to think of another solution. Nevertheless thanks. :slight_smile:
