Anki Help

Hi there,

the browser allows to find cards with the searching field, but
is it also possible to search in between the fields on cards ?

thanks for helping :slight_smile:

What do you exactly mean?
In the browser, you can specify in which field you want to search in. For example, if your notes have a field named “answer” and you want to find notes that contain the word “dog” in this field you can use the following search criteria: answer:dog

Hi thx for your response.
What I mean is,
I have 5 fields on backside with lots of content, for example articlea of newspapers…
My research shows me the cards which contain something that I had been looking for, for ex about ‘dog’.
So I’d like to know, on which field is mentioned the keyword ‘dog’?
You know, sth like Strg-F for search in the window in windows system. Ok?
Thanks for helping.

I’m not totally sure I understand what you want to do.

If you want to see a list with cards that match your query indicating in which field the word you searched for is located, I don’t think that is possible out of the box.

The only thing I can think of is using this add-on, which highlights the results in the browser, so you can quickly find where your query is. But maybe someone else has a better idea.

Wow, if the add on works, this would help a lot!
