Advanced Search Syntax

Learn how to construct complex queries using advanced search filters

How does search work?

Our search engine allows you to filter cards by typing text keywords (such as card names) and combining them with structured filter tags using key:value syntax. You can add as many space-separated filters as you like to refine your results.

Available Filters

Filter	Description	Example	Values & Links
Exact Name	Searches for a card with an exact phrase match using double quotes.	`"Charizard ex"`
type: [supertype]	Filters by card main supertype (Pokemon, Trainer, Energy).	`type:pokemon`
subtype: [subtype]	Filters by specific card subtypes (Basic, Stage 1, Item, Supporter, Tool, Special, etc.).	`subtype:supporter`
set: [code]	Filters by official expansion code or abbreviated nomenclature.	`set:MEW`	Sets
rarity: [rarity]	Filters by official card rarity level. Use quotes if it contains spaces.	`rarity:"double rare"`
hp [op] [num]	Filters cards comparing hit points using operators >, <, >=, <=, =.	`hp>=280`
artist: [name]	Searches for cards created by a specific artist or illustrator.	`artist:"Mitsuhiro Arita"`
number: [num]	Filters by card collector number within a set.	`number:151`

Filter Negation (-)

You can prefix a hyphen (-) to any filter to exclude matching results. For example, to search cards from set MEW while skipping basic energy:

set:MEW -type:energy

Advanced Combination

All text keywords and structured filters can be combined freely. For example, to find Stage 1 Pokémon with HP greater than 100 excluding the SSP set:

type:pokemon subtype:stage1 hp>100 -set:SSP

Note on spaces:If your filter value contains spaces (e.g. artist names or multi-word rarities),you must wrap the value in double quotes, such as rarity:"Illustration Rare".
