Filter deck not working

🙋 Support
1

can someone tell me what’s wrong with my search for my filter deck? I want cards that are new(cards i just unsuspended and haven’t gone through them yet) and due to show up, but they are only showing up cards that are due.

Your search is very close; the issue is likely how the parentheses and OR are being parsed, and/or that your “new” cards are not actually new in Anki’s sense.

From your screenshot, it looks like you’re using something like:

tag:1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology (is:due OR is:new)

Try changing the search to:

"1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology" is:due OR "1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology" is:new

or, if the tag has no spaces:

tag:1_lightyear-bab-gastroenterology (is:due OR is:new)

Key things to check:

  1. Confirm they’re truly “new”
    In the Browser, search:

    tag:"1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology" is:new
    • If 0 cards show up, then the cards you “just unsuspended” are actually review cards, not new ones. Unsuspending a previously-learned card does not make it is:new; it stays a review card, and will only be caught by is:due when their due date arrives.

  2. If you want all unsuspended cards, not just due ones
    Then you probably want to ignore is:new/is:due entirely and just use:

    tag:"1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology"

    and pick an appropriate order (e.g. “order added” or “random”) for your filtered deck. This will pull all active cards with that tag, regardless of due status.

  3. If you specifically want:

    • cards that are due now, plus
    • cards that are new (never seen)

    then your filter should be:

    tag:"1 lightyear-bab-gastroenterology" (is:due OR is:new)

    making sure:

    • The tag is written exactly as in the Browser (quotes if there are spaces).
    • You hit Rebuild after changing the search.

If you can paste the exact search string you’re using (as text) and confirm whether your “just unsuspended” cards show as is:new or is:review in the Browser, I can suggest the precise filter that will match your situation.

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

First, I would double-check that you’ve looked at the info from the bot above, and there is decent chance that a useful answer will be included there.

From there, I’m not sure if I can immediately offer up an answer as to why the string you shared isn’t working. At least in terms of syntax it appears to be fine, though I can’t say I’m familiar with the specific tag that you’re using. Can you double-check to confirm that there are new cards under that particular tag?

The more context you can share the easier it may be to be of help. Screenshots are ideal, if you can, just so I can see what you’re seeing
