Title: Database search suggestion
Post by: Raven316 on November 10, 2011, 07:04:20 PM
I think it would be great if you can add searching by casting cost, and or power/toughness

There really are so many parameters you could use to search by: casting cost, subtype, legendary status, etc. problem is, how to add the right amount without over crowding the GUI.

Legendary is already possible. And searching for type filtering does look into subtype

Well that's a good point and I missed it because Legendary and Basic are supertypes, not types. But whatever. Casting cost is still on the table.

A "sort" by casting cost would be nice

I would strongly suggest a search criteria by single words in cards text. At the moment if I search in the Oracle text more than one word it finds all the cards with those words printed strictly one after the other.

Instead it would be great to have the basic search functioning like google (entire lines search only if brackets "" are used). An example below:

My favourite mtg database: http://magiccards.info

Dunno if I was clear, sorry for my bad english :P

When building decks I find I wish that I could add multiple cards at once when using the filter option, for example I search for standard: black: common: uncommon and I get a nice list of cards and I click on one of them to add and then I have to enter my search options for the next card, it's mostly only annoying when I'm browsing because I dont know all cards by name, but it would help with deck building greatly I think

You know that you can lock your search parameters, right?

When doing a search, press Filter and at the very top, next to the Clear button, is a switch called Lock. Flick that and there it is, search locked! ðŸ'
