Description

banner_shigeyuki_2

Add a search box to the editor and reviewer.

This add-on is a Fixed and Enhanced version for Anki25+ of the addon "Search Bar ", originally created by Henrik Giesel and credit goes to them.

How to use

  • Press Ctrl+F to open the search box.
  • Type in the text and press Enter to search.
  • Press Shift+Enter to return to the previous text.
  • The Browse Editor interferes with keys, so use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F instead.
  • Click the 🔍️ button in the editor to show or hide the search bar.

Option

The options can be displayed from the add-on menu.(Menu -> Tools -> 🔍️Search Bar)

alt text

Show Defaul

  • This option can toggle the search bar to be displayed by default or not. The reviewer is disabled by default.

Shorcut

  • You can set shortcut keys to show or hide the search bar.
  • If the shortcut key is the same as Anki or other add-ons it will not work, if so try changing it to another key.

Search Mode

There are two types of search ways, Webview(Qt) and JavaScript.

  • Webview Mode (Qt), Default

    • Search for text using Webview (Qt). All matching text is highlighted in yellow and orange. The scroll accuracy is relatively high.
    • alt text
  • JavaScript Mode

    • Searches for text using JavaScript. Only the first matching text is selected, the highlight color is gray. Scrolling accuracy is low, e.g. long texts in the editor cannot be scrolled properly.

    • alt text

FAQ

Q. How is this different from Anki's default search?

  • The default search in Browse searches all cards, this add-on searches only the text within a card, so it is useful when a card contains long text.

Q. Why aren't the shortcut keys working?

  • If the keys interfere with other add-ons, they will not work, Browse has many functions so it is prone to interference. If so please try changing the options to different shortcut keys.
