The card browser lists every card of every deck in one place. Search it, sort it, and fix or move many cards at once.

## Open the browser

On the Flashcards page, choose the search icon, then **Browse cards**. Inside a deck, choose **More**, then **Browse cards**: it opens already filtered on that deck. You can also go straight to [the browser](https://app.priortasks.com/flashcards/browse).

## Read the list

Each row is one card, with its **Question**, **Deck**, **Due** (New, Due, Suspended, Buried, or the time left), **Interval**, **Added**, **Reviews** and **Lapses**. A colored dot marks a flagged card. By default the newest cards come first. Choose the **Due**, **Interval** or **Added** title to sort by it, and choose it again to reverse. On a phone, or when the list is narrow, buttons above the list sort by **Added**, **Due** or **Interval**.

## Search

Type in **Search cards…**. The **?** button, **Search syntax**, shows the terms below. Choose an example in it to add it to your search.

| Term | Finds |
| --- | --- |
| `words` | Cards whose front, back or picture labels contain every word. Capitals and accents do not matter, and part of a word is enough. |
| `"exact phrase"` | Cards that contain the phrase |
| `deck:Biology` | Cards in a deck and its subdecks. Give the deck's name or its path, `deck:Spanish::Verbs`. Use `*` as a wildcard, and quotes around a name with spaces, `deck:"Spanish verbs"`. |
| `tag:chapter-2` | Cards with the tag or one of its children, `chapter-2::part-a`. `*` is a wildcard, and `tag:none` finds cards without a tag. |
| `is:new` | Cards you have never answered |
| `is:learn` | Cards being learned or relearned |
| `is:review` | Cards in regular review |
| `is:due` | Cards due before the end of today, learning cards included. New, suspended and buried cards are left out. |
| `is:suspended` | Suspended cards |
| `is:buried` | Buried cards |
| `is:leech` | Cards forgotten 8 times or more |
| `flag:3` | Cards with flag 3. Flags are numbered 1 to 7, and `flag:0` finds cards without a flag. |
| `kind:cloze` | Cards of a type: `basic`, `reversed`, `cloze`, `typed` or `occlusion` |
| `added:7` | Cards created in the last 7 days. `added:1` is today. |
| `rated:1` | Cards you answered in the last day. `rated:7` is the last 7 days. |
| `-term` | Everything except that term, for any term above: `-is:suspended`, `-tag:none` |

How terms combine:

- Several terms are joined with AND: a card must match all of them. There is no OR and no parentheses.
- A day starts at 4:00 in the morning, so `added:1` and `rated:1` mean since the last 4:00.
- Free words look in the front, the back and the labels of picture masks. They do not look at tags: use `tag:`.
- A word with a colon that is not one of the terms above, like `http://example.com`, is searched as plain text.

A few searches to start from:

```
deck:Biology is:due
is:leech -is:suspended
tag:chapter-2 kind:cloze
"cell membrane" -flag:1
rated:1 is:learn
added:7 deck:"Spanish::Verbs"
```

## Select cards and change them

Click a row to select the card. A panel opens beside the list, or as a sheet on a phone, with two tabs: **Edit** to change the card, and **Info** for its history. See [Card info](https://priortasks.com/docs/flashcards/how-scheduling-works/).

To select several: <kbd>Cmd</kbd>-click or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-click, <kbd>Shift</kbd>-click for a range, or <kbd>Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> / <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd> for every result. The arrow keys move the selection, <kbd>Esc</kbd> clears it and <kbd>Delete</kbd> asks to delete.

A bar then offers:

- **Move**: pick a deck and move the cards there.
- **Tags**: type tags, then **Add** or **Remove**.
- **Flag**: pick a color, or **No flag**.
- **Suspend** or **Unsuspend**, **Bury** or **Unbury**. See [Flag, bury, suspend and study off-schedule](https://priortasks.com/docs/flashcards/flag-bury-custom-study/).
- **Reset**: send the cards back to new. Prior asks first.
- **Delete**: remove the cards. Prior asks first, for example "Delete 2 notes and all their cards?"

**Move**, **Tags** and **Delete** act on whole notes: with a reversed note, both of its cards go together. Flags, suspending, burying and resetting act on the cards you selected.
