The Browse window allows you to search through your cards and notes, and edit them. Information technology is opened by clicking Scan in the main window, or by pressing B. It is comprised of three sections: the sidebar on the left, the carte/note table on the top right, and the editing area on the bottom right. Past positioning the mouse between two sections, it is possible to click and elevate to expand i section and shrink the other.

Tabular array Modes

Anki ii.1.45+ offers two modes: either cards or notes are shown in the data table. You tin change the current manner by clicking the switch at the top, to the left of the search surface area, or pressing Alt+T. The switch too indicates if Cards or Northwardotes are currently shown.

Note: For the sake of simplicity, this transmission more often than not assumes the Cards mode to be the agile ane. Whenever selecting/finding/etc. "cards" is mentioned, the reader may substitute it for "cards or notes depending on the active mode".

The sidebar on the left allows quick admission to common search terms. On Anki two.1.45+, it also provides a searchbar, facilities to edit tags and decks, and a choice of two different tools, which are discussed in the following sections. You can switch tools using the toolbar at the top of the sidebar or the shortcuts Alt+1/2.

Search Tool

With this tool, the sidebar behaves as in previous versions: Clicking on an item will search for it.

You can agree down Ctrl (Command on Mac) while clicking in order to append the clicked particular to the current search with an AND condition, instead of starting a new search. If you wanted to show learning cards that were besides in the German deck for instance, you lot could click on "Learning", then Ctrl-click on "High german".

You can hold down Shift to create an OR search instead of an AND. For example, yous could click one deck, then Shift-click another to show cards from either of the decks in the aforementioned view.

Yous can concur downward Alt (Option on Mac) in society to reverse the search (prepend a -): for example, to testify all cards in a current deck that do not accept a certain tag. Alt/Option can be combined with either Ctrl or Shift (e.m. clicking with Ctrl+Alt volition result in adding a new search term that is negated).

On Anki 2.one.39+, you lot tin also agree down both Ctrl and Shift together when clicking a search term to supplant all occurrences of the same kind of search with the new ane. Let's say y'all had previously typed in a complicated search expression like deck:Swahili (is:due or tag:of import) and now want to perform the same search for your Urdu deck. You tin concur down Ctrl+Shift while clicking the Urdu deck in the sidebar to obtain the following search expression: deck:Urdu (is:due or tag:of import).

Selection Tool

The Selection tool allows for selecting multiple items at the same time by holding downward Ctrl or Shift while clicking. It too enables drag-and-drib to reorder decks and tags.

Here is an instance: Say you take the tags Math, Calculus, and Algebra. Click on the Calculus tag, and so Ctrl-click on the Algebra tag. At present both tags are selected, click and drag whatsoever of the two onto the Math tag to make them both children of this tag. Behind the scene, Anki has renamed the two tags to Math::Calculus and Math::Algebra respectively and updated your notes accordingly.

Some other use instance for selecting multiple items is searching: If y'all right-click on a selection of items, you tin choose Search > All/Any Selected. This can be combined with keyboard modifiers as described in Search Tool to append the resulting search to the current search.

Saved Searches

If you lot regularly search for the same thing, you lot tin can salvage the current search past right-clicking the topmost item in the sidebar, choosing "Relieve Current Search" and typing in a proper noun. You can likewise drag and drop whatever sidebar item onto this expanse to add together an equivalent saved search, finer pinning it at the elevation.

Editing Items

Yous can delete or rename tags, decks, and saved searches directly from the sidebar, from the correct-click carte du jour, or by using a shortcut cardinal (Del and F2 on Windows). Deletion even works for multiple items at once (see Option Tool).

Finding Items

To notice a sure item in the sidebar tree, type part of its proper name into the searchbar at the acme to temporarily hide all items not matching the search.

Search Box

Above the carte listing is a search box. Y'all tin can type in various things in that location to search for cards. For information on the search syntax, see Searching.

Bill of fare/Annotation Table

The tabular array'due south rows stand for cards or notes that match the current search. When you click on a row, the respective note will be shown in the bottom section.

Rows

If you drag the mouse or hold Ctrl or Control to select multiple rows, the editor will be temporarily hidden. Various operations (such as changing the deck) tin operate on multiple cards or notes at once, independent of the agile mode. Therefore in Cards manner, a annotation is considered to be selected if whatever of its cards is selected, and in Notes mode, a menu is considered to be selected if its note is selected.

Other operations (like showing card information) only operate on a single bill of fare or note. This is called the electric current bill of fare or note, which is usually the ane that was last selected or clicked. In Cards Mode, once again, the current note is the note of the current card and in Notes manner, the current carte is the start bill of fare of the current annotation.

The background color will change depending on the card and note. In Cards manner, the offset friction match will be used:

1. if the menu is flagged, use the flag color,
2. if the card is suspended, yellowish,
3. if the card'due south notation is marked, purple.

In Notes mode, colour is only applied to marked notes.
For more information about marked notes and suspended cards, come across Editing and More.

Columns

The columns are configurable: correct click on one (or Ctrl-click on a Mac) to choose which columns yous'd like to encounter. Yous can drag columns to reorder them. Clicking on a column will sort by that column; click once more to opposite the sort lodge. Note that you cannot sort by the Question and Answer columns.

All columns are available for both Cards and Notes mode merely sometimes with slightly different names and information. The post-obit table lists the behaviours for both modes.

Cards

The following deportment operate on the currently selected cards. They are also available through a context bill of fare when a selected row is rightclicked in Cards mode. In Notes style, they can exist found in a submenu of the context menu.

Proper noun	Activeness
Modify Deck	Move currently selected cards to a different deck.
Set Due Date	Turn cards into review cards, and brand them due on a certain date. This can be useful for moving cards forward or back a few days when your study schedule is interrupted. Entering a range like 60-90 volition make the selected cards due between 60 and ninety days from now. New cards will take their interval set to the aforementioned delay, but reviews volition exist rescheduled without changing their current interval, unless '!' is included at the finish of the range. (Note that answer fourth dimension is not recorded when manually scheduling cards, since the activeness can exist performed fifty-fifty exterior of review, and Anki isn't aware of which card may or may not be shown at the fourth dimension.)
Forget	Movement currently selected cards to the end of the new queue. The existing review history is preserved. In 2.ane.50+, at that place are options to restore the original card position, and to reset the carte'south lapse and repetition counters.

Go

This menu exists to provide keyboard shortcuts to leap to various parts of the browser, and to go up and down the card listing.

Find and Replace

This dialog allows for replacing text on notes. Every bit described above, information technology is available from the toolbar and the table'south context carte du jour.

The first input field is for the text that is going to be replaced, the second one for the replacement. Next, in that location is a dropdown bill of fare that allows you to specify where Anki should wait for text to replace: in a note's tags (requires Anki 2.ane.45+), in all fields, or merely in a specific field (but fields belonging to a selected annotation will be listed).

By default, only selected notes will be affected. If you desire to elevator that restriction, y'all tin untick the "selected notes only" checkbox (requires Anki ii.one.45+).

The regular expression option allows you to perform complex replacements. For example, presume there is the following text in a field:

                <img src="moving picture.jpg" />                              

Nosotros use these settings:

(Note that on Anki versions prior to 2.1.28, you would need to replace ${1} with \ane.)

So the assumed field content volition alter to:

                pic.jpg                              

A full discussion on regular expressions is outside the scope of this document. There are a number of syntax guides available on the web:

• For Anki two.ane.28+, come across https://docs.rs/regex/latest/regex/index.html#syntax.
• For older Anki versions, see http://docs.python.org/library/re.html.

Finding Duplicates

You can employ the Notes > Find Duplicates option to search for notes that take the same content. When you open the window, Anki will await at all of your note types and nowadays a listing of all possible fields. If you desire to await for duplicates in the Back field, you'd select it from the list and and so click Search.

By default, it volition search in all annotation types that have the field yous provided. This differs from the duplicate bank check when you add cards manually, which is limited to a single note type.

The Optional filter text box allows you to narrow down where Anki will await for duplicates. If y'all only want to search for duplicates in the "French Vocab" and "French Verbs" note types, you would enter:

                "annotation:french vocab" or "notation:french verbs"                              

Or you might want to look merely for duplicates in a particular deck, so you could use:

                "deck:myDeck"                              

The search syntax is the same every bit used when searching in the browser. For more information, see Searching.

Yous can click one of the links in the search results list to display the duplicate notes in that prepare. If the search brings upward a large number of duplicates, you may wish to instead click the Tag Duplicates push, which volition tag all matching notes with duplicate. You lot can then search for this tag in the browser and handle them all from the same screen.
