URL-based Search

You can preload the search from the URL by adding ?q=... (or ?search=...) to the page address. For example, deckbuilder.html?q=rarity:Rare. The deck builder will use that query when the page loads.

Basic Search

Searching for a word searches the card name, rules text, card type, and set name.

Query	Description
`Fireball`	Finds cards containing "Fireball".
`Hero`	Finds cards containing "Hero".
`"Draw 2 cards"`	Searches for the entire phrase.

Field Searches

Search only a specific field using field:value.

Field	Alias	Description
`name`	-	Card name.
`text`	-	Rules text.
`type`	`t`	Card type.
`set`	`s`	Set name.
`rarity`	`r`	Card rarity.
`id`	-	Card ID.

Examples

        name:Benji
        text:damage
        type:Character
        t:Hero
        set:Base
        s:BS26
        rarity:Rare
        r:Common
        id:BS26-001

Exact Matches

Use single quotes to require an exact match instead of a partial match.

Query	Meaning
`rarity:Rare`	Matches "Rare", "Rare Foil", etc.
`rarity:'Rare'`	Matches only exactly "Rare".
`name:'Benji'`	Card name must be exactly "Benji".

Phrase Searches

Double quotes keep multiple words together as one search term.

        "Draw 2 cards"

        name:"Dark Mage"

        text:"Deal 3 damage"

Negation

Exclude cards using NOT or a leading -.

Query	Description
`NOT rarity:Common`	Exclude Common cards.
`-rarity:Common`	Same as above.
`Hero -text:Flying`	Hero cards without "Flying".

AND

Both conditions must match.

        Hero AND Rare

        type:Character AND rarity:Rare

        Hero Rare

Adjacent terms automatically imply AND.

OR

Either condition may match.

        Rare OR Legendary

        type:Hero OR type:Villain

Parentheses

Use parentheses to group expressions.

        (Hero OR Villain) AND Rare

        (type:Character OR type:Item)
        AND
        NOT rarity:Common

Operator Precedence

Operators are evaluated in this order:

Parentheses ( )
NOT
AND
OR

Example:

        Hero OR Villain AND Rare

is interpreted as:

        Hero OR (Villain AND Rare)
