Description

- This add-on had to be reworked in response to major changes to the internals of Anki. As a result, it is only available for Anki version 2.1.28 and above. - The toggle button has been removed. If this add-on is installed, it will always search as if the feature is enabled. Ignore accents and diacritical marks used by various languages when searching in the card browser and match only against the base characters. This allows you to enter only the base characters in the browser search bar even if your notes have the words written with the marks included. Current version: 2.1 Changes in 2.1: - Correctly handle deck names with spaces Changes in 2.0: - Reworked to continue working with newest Anki releases. Changes in 1.9: - Fix broken widget order around the search bar Changes in 1.8: - Anki 2.1 support. The add-on will no longer receive updates for Anki 2.0.x Changes in 1.7 - Supports any language, although searches are now slower.

The add-on has been updated to work again but requires Anki 2.1.28.

The addon was much more comfortable and more intuitive to use than the new 'nc:...' syntax as introduced in Anki 2.1.24.
I don't like to write 'nc:' every time I use the search. (It should be vice versa: the ones who need to search for accents etc. should use a special syntax.)

Good, but very slow

Unfortunately, it’s very slow and the performance is really bad. :(

One downside: significantly slows down search.

@ the reviewer from 25.10.2014: I as a German native speaker have never heard of "Mahd" and had to look it up. It's limited to the south-eastern area of the German language space.

A must have add-on, for sure! Thanks! It also allows to ignore capital letters.

Works great! However, at first I didn't realise that I had to tick the box next to the search bar and so I thought it didn't work.

Normalizing unicode is hard, and this plugin is great. Thanks so much!

Perfect !

Great for Latin too!

Thanks so much for providing exactly the functionality I realized I needed. Works great even with combining diacritics.

A great addition for Chinese learners

Let me count the ways in which I love this add-on. This makes it much easier to search Chinese pinyin when you are not sure of the tones. Brilliant!

Thank you so much!!!

Great add on! So incredibly useful for Arabic! Thank you.

Very good

Please extend it to ignore case.
I use accents in Russian, and with this add-on, the search ignores them, which is great. I also use Upper Case to indicate accent, when I can't generate them from the keyboard (which is most of the time). This review would show 5 stars if the search also ignored case.

Just awesome!

Great addon. It saves you a lot of time. Other great thing would be that if you write "ss", the browser search recognizes it as "ß".

Excellent

Thanks very much!

Just to give a further example of this addon's usefulness - Duden and other dictionaries of German usually indicate short vowels by a subscript dot, and long vowels by a subscript line. With this addon, one can search for (say) “Mahd”, and the Browser window will display not only “Mahd” but also “Ma̱hd”.

Great Addon for skipping characters

This is a great addon for skipping any UTF-code character that you want. For my example: I am skipping diacritical tone marks and accent marks for Russian words. Just add the unicode-numbers that you want to skip to the addon code. Thanks a lot for saving me a loooooot of time. :))))) Maybe you can rewrite the name and description here on this website, so people searching for a UTF-Code skipping addon (generally, not only for Arabic/Hebrew diacritics) find it more quickly.

Super

Highly recommend it! Works great.
One feature request though: I'm learning both Hebrew and Arabic; if possible, it would be great to see someone extend this plugin to also work with niqqud, i.e. also strip out Hebrew diacritics.

Great addon

I recommend this for everyone using Arabic.
