Flashcards - searching by pinyin?

[eddiewould]

Hi,

I'm sure there's a way to do it but it's not obvious to me. I'd like to search *within* a category of flashcards I've defined by either pinyin or English (like I can on the main dictionary screen).

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi.

Give this a shot:

Flashcards > Search cards > create two search fields: one for category; one for pronunciation.

Hope this helps.

That kind of works, but it's a bit clumsy - feels like it could be easier to do. Also, is there a similar method to search by definition? (i.e. search by English)

Search Cards is all that we support at the moment; adding a search box at the top of Organize Cards is on our to-do list, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Support for definition searches is not among our current plans; it would be pretty nightmarish since we'd have to search both the cards themselves and the dictionary entries that they link to.
