Search, Discover, and Build Collections

The search feature does more than just find cards by name — from linked searches to set overviews and adding entire search results straight into a collection.

Search is one of the most versatile parts of the app. It's not just a search field — it's a starting point for discovering cards, sets, and illustrators, and a direct path to building collections.

The search start screen: sets, Pokémon, or illustrators

When the search field is empty, the app shows a browse view. A button at the top lets you switch between three modes:

  • Sets — all available expansions as a grid with cover artwork
  • Pokémon — a Pokédex overview, organised by generation
  • Illustrators — all card artists sorted by number of cards in the database

This lets you browse the entire card database without typing a single character.

Linked searches from card details

When you open a card from the search results, certain pieces of information are tappable:

  • The card name starts a new search for all cards with that name — useful for finding every print variant of a card.
  • The set opens a search for all cards in that expansion.
  • The illustrator shows all cards illustrated by that person.

This makes it easy to keep exploring from any card you find, without having to type a new search manually.

Adding search results directly to a collection

One especially useful feature: you can add an entire set of search results to a collection in one go. It's the fastest way to build a complete set collection.

Example: creating a collection for "Brilliant Stars"

  1. Search for the set — type the set name or tap it directly in the set overview.
  2. In the search results, you'll find an option to transfer all displayed cards into a collection.
  3. Create a new collection or select an existing one.
  4. The collection now contains every card in the set — ready to use as a checklist.

Tracking your collection progress

Inside the collection, each card can individually be marked as collected. This creates a personal checklist: at a glance you can see which cards from a set you already own and which ones are still missing.

This works just as well for themed collections — for example, all cards by a specific illustrator, or every card of a particular Pokémon across different sets.
