Save and reuse search presets

A search preset stores an Advanced Search filter combination. It does not store the text typed in Search cards, and it does not copy or modify the matching cards.

Save your current filters

  1. Open Search → Advanced Search.
  2. Set the filters you want to reuse. For example, select a vocabulary deck and the Struggle state.
  3. Tap Save Search Preset.
  4. Enter a unique Search Preset Name, such as Vocabulary to improve, and save.
  5. Close the confirmation and tap Apply Filter if you want to use those filters in the current Search results.

Saving the preset does not itself commit the filter page's draft to the Search tab. Apply Filter is the step that updates the active results.

Apply a saved preset

  1. Open Advanced Search.
  2. Open Apply Search Preset and choose a saved preset.
  3. Inspect the loaded filter values and adjust them if necessary.
  4. Tap Apply Filter.
  5. Enter a text query in Search if you want to narrow the filtered cards further.

Using a preset loads a saved combination. Adjusting the current filter draft does not silently rewrite the stored preset.

Manage presets in Settings

Open Settings → Presets → Search Presets to create a new preset or edit a saved one. Use a descriptive name and save changes in the editor.

Delete This Preset removes only the preset. Its confirmation explicitly leaves your decks, cards, and tags unaffected.

Useful examples

Suspended cardsSuspended stateInspect cards handled by the suspended-card allowance.
Image cardsImage field type, no queryFind cards whose templates contain an image field.
Recent additionsCreated Date boundsCheck cards created in a particular period.

Date bounds are saved as selected dates, not a rolling instruction such as “always the last seven days.” Update a dated preset when you want a different period.
