I made this addon to help prioritize which cards i unsuspend while learning a new system/unit. I first start by only unsuspending the Basic cards, followed by High Yield, then High Yield + Step 2, and finally any remaining cards throughout my units. This allows a layered/structured approach to doing the anki cards, starting with the most basic and High Yield first and progressing to the more difficult material later on, as opposed to unsuspending all of them at once and having a very high workload without foundational knowledge first. I also use this to consolidate which cards are the most important if i don't have sufficient time before an exam to get through all of them.
This addon is modified from the existing QuickSearch addon

Update 02/20/26:
- "HY + Step 2" now filters using the new "#AK_Other::Only_Step_1&2_Overlap" and "#AK_Other::Only_Step_2" tags, instead of including any card with a Step 2 tag
- This change was done to better align with the goal of that filter option by utilizing this new tagging project by the AnKing team.
Update 01/31/26:
- "No Extra" now works for parent tags (ie, selecting the tag for an entire chapter). Previously, it only worked if you selected a video tag. Also works for non-B&B tags (ie, Step 2 FirstAid)
- Replaced "Due" checkbox with "Review" as it is more useful
