搜尋 Searching

在 Anki 中，瀏覽畫面和篩選牌組使用相同的方法進行搜尋。同樣的方法也可以用來調整 FSRS 最佳化範圍。

簡單搜尋 Simple searches

在搜尋方塊中輸入文字後，Anki 將尋找所有筆記欄位，並顯示符合的卡片。搜尋結果不包含標籤。（請見後文來了解如何搜尋標籤）以下是一些搜尋條件範例：

dog
搜尋「dog」——也會符合類似「doggy」和「underdog」的字。

dog cat
搜尋同時包含「dog」和「cat」的筆記，如「raining cats and dogs」。

dog or cat
搜尋至少包含「dog」和「cat」其一的筆記。

dog (cat or mouse)
搜尋包含「dog」，且至少包含「cat」和「mouse」其一的筆記。即同時包含「dog」和「cat」或者同時包含「dog」和「mouse」。

-cat
搜尋不包含「cat」的筆記。

-cat -mouse
搜尋既不包含「cat」，也不包含「mouse」的筆記。

-(cat or mouse)
同上。

"a dog"
搜尋包含「a dog」的筆記，如「atta dog」。而「dog a」或「adog」則不符合條件。

-"a dog"
搜尋不包含「a dog」的筆記。

d_g
尋找包含「d, <一個字元>, g」的筆記，如「dog」、「dig」、「dug」等。

d*g
尋找包含「d, <零或多個字元>, g」的筆記，如「dg」、「dog」、「dung」等。

w:dog
搜尋單字「dog」，而不是 d, o, g 三個字元——即「dog」會符合搜尋條件，但「doggy」、「underdog」不會。僅限 Anki 2.1.24+、AnkiMobile 2.1.61+ 或 AnkiDroid 2.17+ 版本。文字格式可能改變單字邊界，例如，搜尋 w:exam 時將會符合「example」，因為「exam」包含在粗體格式中。

w:dog*
符合「dog」和「doggy」，但不符合「underdog」。

w:*dog
符合「dog」和「underdog」，但不符合「doggy」。

以上需要注意：

  • 搜尋條件應以空白分隔。

  • 輸入多個搜尋條件時，Anki 將尋找符合所有條件的筆記——默認在每個條件之間加入 and。在 Anki 2.1.24+、AnkiMobile 2.1.60+ 及 AnkiDroid 2.17+ 版本中，你也可以輸入這條 and（dog and cat 等於 dog cat），但在較早版本中，and 會被視為一個正常的單字進行搜尋。

  • 如果僅需筆記符合一個條件，你可以使用 or。

  • 你可以在搜尋條件前加入一個半形連字號 (-) 來搜尋不符合這個條件的筆記。

  • 你可以用半形括號來對搜尋條件分組。這一做法在混用 and 和 or 時尤為重要，例如，上文範例中的 dog (cat or mouse) 將符合「dog cat」或「dog mouse」，若去掉括號，搜尋條件將變成「dog and cat」或「mouse」。

  • Anki is only able to search within formatting in the sort field you’ve configured. For example, if you add "example" to one of your fields, with the "exa" part in bold, this will not be matched when searching for example unless that field is the sort field. If a word is not formatted, or the formatting does not change in the middle of the word, then Anki will be able to find it in any field.

  • Standard searches are case insensitive for Latin characters - a-z will match A-Z, and vice versa. Other characters such as Cyrillic are case sensitive in a standard search, but can be made case insensitive by searching on a word boundary or regular expression (w:, re:).

限制欄位 Limiting to a field

You can also ask Anki to match only if a particular field contains some text. Unlike the previous search examples, searching in fields requires an exact match by default.

正面:dog
find notes with a Front field of exactly "dog". A field that says "a dog" will not match.

"animal front:a dog"
finds notes where the "Animal Front" field is exactly "a dog". The double quotes are mandatory: see later in this section.

正面:*dog*
find notes with Front field containing dog somewhere

front:
正面:
尋找「正面」欄位為空白的筆記

正面:_*
尋找「正面」欄位不為空白的筆記

正面:*
尋找擁有「正面」欄位的筆記，無論是否空白

正*:text
在名稱開頭為「正」的欄位中尋找筆記。僅支援在 Anki 2.1.24+ 或 AnkiMobile 2.1.60+ 版本上使用。

標籤、牌組、卡片和筆記 Tags, decks, cards and notes

tag:animal
finds notes with the tag "animal", or subtags like "animal::mammal".

tag:none
finds notes with no tags.

tag:ani*
finds notes with tags starting with "ani".

deck:french
find cards in a deck called "French", or its subdecks like "French::Vocab".

deck:french -deck:french::*
finds cards in "French", but not its subdecks.

deck:"french vocab"
searching when the deck name has a space.

"deck:french vocab"
same as earlier.

deck:filtered
filtered decks only.

-deck:filtered
normal decks only.

preset:"Default"
cards in all decks that use the "Default" deck options preset. Requires Anki 23.10+, AnkiMobile 23.10+ or AnkiDroid 2.17+.

card:forward
finds cards created by a card type named "Forward".

card:1
searches for cards by card type number, e.g. to find the second cloze deletion for a note, you’d use card:2

note:basic
searches for cards created with a note type named "Basic".

Ignoring accents/combining characters

Requires Anki 2.1.24+, AnkiMobile 2.0.60+ or AnkiDroid 2.17+.

You can use nc: (nc stands for "no combining") to make Anki ignore combining characters. For example:

nc:uber
matches notes with "uber", "über", "Über" and so on.

nc:は
matches "は", "ば", and "ぱ".

Searches that ignore combining characters are slower than regular searches.

Regular expressions

Anki 2.1.24+, AnkiMobile 2.0.60+ and AnkiDroid 2.17+ support searching in notes with "regular expressions", a standard and powerful way of searching in text.

Start a search with re: to search using regular expressions. To make things easier, Anki will treat the following as raw input, so bear in mind the rules listed there.

Some examples:

"re:(some|another).*thing"
finds notes that have "some" or "another" on them, followed by 0 or more characters, and then "thing".

re:\d{3}
finds notes that have 3 digits in a row.

Regular expressions can also be limited to a specific field. Please note that unlike the normal searches in a specific field, regular expressions in fields don't require an exact match:

front:re:[a-c]1
matches uppercase or lowercase a1, B1 or c1 that occurs anywhere in the "Front" field.

front:re:^[a-c]1$
same as the previous example, but will not match if any other text falls before or after a1/b1/c1.

Anki 2.1.50+ supports regular expressions for tags:

tag:re:^parent$
finds notes with the exact tag "parent", disregarding any child tags like "parent::child".

"tag:re:lesson-(1[7-9]|2[0-5])"
finds notes with tags "lesson-17" through "lesson-25".

For more information on regular expressions, see this website.

Some things to be aware of:

  • The search is case-insensitive by default; use (?-i) at the start to turn on case sensitivity.
  • Some text like spaces and newlines may be represented differently in HTML - you can use the HTML editor in the editing screen to see the underlying HTML contents.
  • For the specifics of Anki's regex support, see the regex crate documentation.

Card state

is:due
review cards and learning cards waiting to be studied.

Cards that have lapsed fall into several of the previous categories, so it may be useful to combine different search terms to get more precise results:

is:learn is:review
cards that have lapsed and are awaiting relearning.

-is:learn is:review
review cards, not including lapsed cards.

is:learn -is:review
cards that are in learning for the first time.

Matching special characters

If you're using a version earlier than Anki 2.1.36 the following searches may not work.

As shown in the previous section, some characters like *, _ and " have a special meaning in search. If you need to locate those characters in a search, you need to tell Anki not to treat them specially. This is called "escaping a character" and is primarily done by using double quotes and backslashes.

  • Space
    To match something that includes spaces, enclose the "entire term" in double quotes. If it is a colon search, you also have the option to only quote the part:"after the colon".

  • And/Or
    To search for these words, wrap them with double quotes. For example, dog "and" cat searches for "dog", "cat" and the word "and". If you wrap the entire search term with quotes like in the previous example, you do not need to escape and or or.

  • ", * and _
    Add a backslash before these characters to treat them literally. For example, _ will match any single character, but \_ matches only an actual underscore.

  • \
    Because a backlash is used to remove the special meaning from other characters, it too is treated specially. If you need to search for an actual backslash, use \\ instead of \.

  • ( and )
    You can search for parentheses by enclosing the entire term in quotes, by using a backslash, or both at the same time. For example, "(text)", \(text\) and "\(text\)" are all equivalent searches, and search for (text).

  • -
    Starting a search term with - usually inverts it: -dog matches everything except dog for example. If you instead wish to include an actual hyphen, you can either use a backslash, or include the text in quotes. For example, \-free or "-free" will match "guilt-free" and "cruelty-free".

  • :
    Colons have to be escaped using backslashes unless they are preceded by another, unescaped colon. For example, w:3:30 searches for "3:30" on word boundary and doesn't require you to use a backslash. However, if you don't use a colon search, the colons need to be escaped like this: 3\:30.

  • &, <, and >
    &, <, and > are treated as HTML when searching in Anki, and as such, searches containing them don't work as expected. However, you can search for them by using their corresponding HTML entity names (&amp; for &, &lt; for <, and &gt; for >). For example, searching &amp;text searches for a note with &text in a field.

Raw input

Text preceded by certain keywords (like re:) will be treated as raw input. That is, the characters listed above largely lose their special meaning. In such a context, only a minimum of escaping is required to prevent ambiguity:

  • Double quotes (") must be escaped.

  • Spaces and unescaped parentheses require the search term to be quoted.

  • The search term must not end in an odd number of backslashes.

Object IDs

nid:123
the note with note id 123.

cid:123,456,789
all cards with card ids 123, 456, or 789.

Note and card IDs can be found in the card info dialog in the browser. These searches may also be helpful when doing add-on development or otherwise working closely with the database.
