Description

Search Filter Addon

Search Filter Addon adds a simple field-based search filter to the Anki Browser.

When Field Filter is enabled, you can select a specific note field from a dropdown menu and restrict search results to that field only.

When the filter is disabled, Anki's normal search behavior remains unchanged.

Features

  • Adds a Field Filter checkbox next to the Browser search bar
  • Shows a field dropdown only when the filter is enabled
  • Restricts search results to the selected field
  • Automatically detects field names from your collection
  • Keeps Anki's default search behavior when the filter is disabled
  • Lightweight and unobtrusive

Example

Search term:

allocate

Selected field:

Word

The add-on will search only within the Word field instead of searching across every field in the note.

Use Case

This is especially useful for large vocabulary collections where the same word may appear in:

  • definitions
  • example sentences
  • notes
  • synonyms
  • other custom fields

With Field Filter enabled, you can search only the field you actually want.

Compatibility

  • Desktop Anki
  • Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Mobile versions of Anki are currently not supported
