Searching Anking Deck for High Yield cards In combo With UWorld ID

🙋 Support
1

Hello community, I hope all is well.

So I am using Anki app on desktop to review a UWorld block for Step 1. I basically want to search for cards that match a specific Question ID number of UWorld AND are also tagged as High Yield in the Anking deck.

Is there a way I can search for it? I do not know the search query and if there are any Boolean operators allowed so inquiring.

For example for 2 questions of UWorld when I click browse and select cards in the search bar, the search string is tag:UWorld::19550 OR tag:UWorld::18560 now, I want to also make sure the cards that come up are also tagged high yield so that they are filtered.

What would the search string be in this case? tag:UWorld::19550 OR tag:UWorld::18560 AND tag:#AK_Step1_v12::#Low/HighYield::1-HighYield But Anki does not support And operator so inquiring.

Please advise.

You can do this with Anki’s normal search by combining tag: filters and parentheses.

You want:

  • Cards with either UWorld ID 19550 or 18560
  • AND they must also be tagged High Yield

In Anki’s search syntax, that looks like this:

(tag:*UWorld*::19550 or tag:*UWorld*::18560) tag:#AK_Step1_v12::#Low/HighYield::1-HighYield

Explanation:

  • or is allowed in Anki searches.
  • If you don’t write and, Anki treats a space between terms as AND.
  • Parentheses make sure the or only applies to the UWorld IDs, and the High Yield tag is required for both.

So just paste that line into the Browser search bar while your AnKing deck is selected, and it will show only High Yield cards for those UWorld questions.

If your exact High Yield tag is slightly different (e.g. no # characters), adjust the last part accordingly. If you’re unsure of the tag, you can right‑click a known High Yield card in the Browser → Cards → check the tag in the sidebar and copy it into the search.

Hello,

I would be happy to help. :slight_smile:

Just as a quick reference, you may want to double-check your initial search string. At least on my end I show that the following returns 0 results:

  • tag:UWorld ::19550 OR tag:UWorld ::18560

But, what you’re inquiring about should be possible. Just as an example, I’ll use a search string from a recent UWorld question set of my own (though shortened, for clarity):

  • tag:UWorld::2003 OR tag:UWorld::15193

From there, if I want to filter these for cards that are also high yield, you can do the following:

  • tag:UWorld::2003 OR tag:UWorld::15193 tag:#AK_Step1_v12::#Low/HighYield::1-HighYield

That should bring up cards that both reference those QID’s and that are high-yield. The same basic process can be used for most any combinations, and the Anki manual can be useful for looking up syntax specifics as well: https://docs.ankiweb.net/

Please let me know if that answers your question, and if there’s anything else I can help with. :slight_smile:

Hello, Thank You Brian for responding, if I use brackets, would it make a difference? Like

  • (tag:UWorld::2003 OR tag:UWorld::15193) tag:#AK_Step1_v12::#Low/HighYield::1-HighYield

That way we will get questions tagged with Uworld QID AND are high yield. Let me know. Appreciated!

To be honest I’m not sure. You might consult the Anki manual for more specifics on the particulars of the software and its syntax preferences. I can’t say that I know, unfortunately

It may be that there is a difference, but I’m not a developer myself and so I’m not perfectly expert in all the little details. I’m sure the manual has more information, though.

Even for me, sometimes I just have to tinker around until I find a solution that works. :mending_heart:
