Advanced search/filtering #388

Open drwombat opened 1 year ago

drwombat commented 1 year ago

Currently, fields like "Type" "Name" "Text" etc are y/n toggles. So if I want to find all Goblins - fine, I can select "Type" and enter Goblins. But what if I want to find only those Goblins with Haste? I cannot also type "Haste" in the field, because it will search only for things with "Goblins" also in the text box, i.e. not returning the "Raging Goblin" for example. If I use the "Abilities" tab and select Haste, I get -0- results so it doesn't appear to work at all.

I recommend instead having a text box for each rather than the AND/OR/NOT options. Text gets one text box, Type gets another text box, etc. Then I can search for specific subcategories and text.

I also recommend adding a "commander colors" option to the color selections. Currently if I am building a deck with a commander that's white, blue, and green, for example, I am not aware of any way to search for cards that include any combinations of colors excluding red and black - since in that deck any blue cards, any colorless cards, any green&white cards, etc would be OK.

We will take those into account for the design of the new Search/Filter experience in MTG Studio 4.0. Until then you can use the Advanced Filter to achieve the desired outcomes.
