Adds browser search filter dialogs for tags, decks, note and card types, fields, flags, and saved searches, plus absolute-date filtering and keyboard shortcuts.
Adds a search box to the editor and reviewer for finding text within a card, with configurable shortcuts and highlight modes.
Adds a configurable search bar to the reviewer and editors, with shortcuts for finding next, previous, and closing the bar.
Highlights browser search matches within notes, including field code, tags, regex and overlapping matches, with auto-scroll, scrollbar indicators and customizable settings.
Adds an editor toolbar button that sends the active field's full content or highlighted text to the Anki browser search, optionally without the field name when Shift is held.
Enables adding and editing Anki notes in extended CommonMark Markdown within fields or a separate window, using a CodeMirror editor with HTML conversion and configurable syntax extensions.
This add-on adds a true Ctrl+F search bar to Ankiβs Add Cards window, with full-text highlighting inside the editor β similar to modern web browsers.
It is ideal for users who create long, complex notes and want the ability to quickly locate text inside the editor while writing cards.
Press Ctrl+F in the Add window to reveal a small search bar placed neatly beside the bottom action buttons.
Search results inside the note editor are highlighted using the browser-style API CSS.highlights.
A tiny scrollbar "minimap" indicates all match positions within the note at a glance.
After searching, the editor scrolls directly to the first result.
The original highlighter panel ("0 Matches | Scroll: On | β") appears only when the Find bar is active, and hides itself automatically when the bar is closed.
These versions use Qt6 WebEngine (Chromium β₯112) and support the Web Highlight API needed for modern text-highlighting.
