Anki: How to match using both w: and nc:?


From the Anki documentation:

  • use w:foo to match word boundaries, like \bfoo\b
  • use nc:foo to match ignoring accents e.g. nc:uber matches über.

Is it possible to combine both?

Example use case: to match für (thinking of the German word).

None of the following works: w:nc:fur, nc:w:fur.


Solution

  • Update Anki Settings: Preferences > Editing > "Ignore accents in search (slower)".

    Now search with w:, such as w:fur.
