Good

nice~ your solution is right for me!

IS THERE A WAY TO SELECT MULTIPLE TAGS AT ONCE ?

Works great!

awsome

Amazing add-on!Thank you so much.

I really miss the "filter" button which is not supported on newer anki versions... great addon, though, thank you!

yay

Thanks for update! Just must have :3

Searching through the large MCAT pre-made decks is now made very easy!

Great!!! 😋
Typing tags and deck names and whatever by hand is no fun, let me tell you that!

It's a very useful addition, thank you
can I limit the search to 2 fields? like Text and Extra, I know how to search in one field but I don't know how to search in 2 fields

i use this add-on like every minute .. so i really appreciate the update

Very useful. Thank you very much.

Not supported in most recent version of Anki (2.1.43)
EDIT: now supported

Should be implemented in Anki
Must have add-on

Thanks

Thanks for continuous improvement!
edit: I'm amazed by how good it has become! It makes Anki so much better. I love the extended Search Dialog.
edit: It has gotten even more features since I upgraded Anki from 2.1.22 to 2.1.35. I appreciate your work.

Does what it is supposed to do

This add-on is absolutely awesome, thanks you really !

I love the usability of this add on! Thank you.

Works as expected. I do not know if it is possible, but it would be nice to make the popup window unobtrusive, so I could ignore it and just continue typing (like in a combo box)

Great add on!

one of the "must have" if study or do contents review in the browser. I wish i could double upvote this for making it available in older 2.1.22-2.125 version. Very understanding of the author

best developer

Amazing addon. I would love to see a feature which allows you to select multiple tags at once (maybe add a checklist next to the tags?).
Comment from author
Thanks. A checkbox next to each line sounds useful. I've added it to the todo list. But the add-on was never designed for this so this would require many changes. This is not a quick fix.

There goes I, doofus that I am. All is well :)

This seems very nice! Is there a way to tweak the code so that the addon activates only on certain conditions, e.g. only if I prepend the search with a "#" ?
EDIT: yes, that is a nice solution! thank you
EDIT2: really good addon! I use this all the time

No, not at the moment. The add-on was not designed for this so this would require multiple changes and some testing.
If you only need this add-on in the browser: You could disable the dialog for typed searches and when you want the dialog use shortcuts?

Very useful! Makes finding relevant cards in the anking deck much quicker and easier.

Update (2020-04-09): Everything now works perfectly on my MacBook. I use the addon countless times per day. Thank you for continuing to improve on it.

Update (2020-03-06) – two further notes for people on macOS:
* In my case, the panel was always in Nightmode, which I never use. Should that happen to you, too, then open the file `fuzzy_panel.py` and comment out or delete lines 115 to 174.
* Shortcuts such as `Ctrl+H, C` evidently do not work on macOS, so replace them with (e.g.) `Ctrl+5, C` (i.e. `⌘5, C`).
Again, many thanks.
~~
Excellent. Very many thanks for this (and for all your other addons).
The panel’s size occupied too much space on my MacBook, so I replaced line 101 of `fuzzy_panel.py`by the following two lines:
self.setMinimumWidth(100)
self.setMaximumWidth(500)

Thanks for the upvote and hint about MacOS shortcuts.
The latest version should work better with Anki's built-in night-mode. The code for setMinimumWidth was removed - instead the add-on now remembers your last window dimensions.
Could you update your review?

THANKS

Makes the browser much handier to use. Thanks!

UPDATE: Thank you for your reply!!! I have updated Anki and have downloaded the updated Add-on. The black/gray rows are still there, but at least I am able to see the text now! I'll download Anki 2.1.20 whenever it is released.
Now, on to the review! Thank you so much for making this add-on - when doing anki, any add-on that can save you a few minutes/seconds is absolutely worth it. This add-on allows me to search for tags within SECONDS and selectively unsuspend/suspend cards as I need.

Forgive me, I am having difficulty figuring out how to ask a question/report the problem on the forum. I will change my rating whenever I am able to get a response!
1) For some reason the dialog box that comes up whenever I input "tag:" or use the CTRL+H shortcut, is black/dark gray and virtually unreadable. I have the nightmode addon and have disabled the following:
-addon dialog
-browser package
-browser
-reviewer cards
-enable in dialogs.
My browser window is in normal colors, yet it is just the dialog box that pops up when I use this add-on that is black/dark gray. Furthermore, the text that I type in is black so I have no idea what I am typing.

try the latest version or wait for 2.1.20 which has a good built-in night mode that also works with my add-on.

Wonderful addon to quickly locate notes via a bevy of filters

Amazing work, thanks!

Love it! So helpful!
