Hey all,

I'm wondering if one of you can answer a wee question on the card search engine.

I'm trying to search for a specific dilemma group surrounding a specific skill. For example, if I wanted to search for all dilemmas with 'acquisitions' on it (be it as a wall or stop or 'kill one dude with ....".

I assume the "skill" section of the search engine is for personnel. If I choose the card type as dilemma, then type as planet, then say a wall ... dilemmas will show up. As soon as I add a skill box (again, using acquisitions +1)... I get zero results. Same with any skill.

It's probably obvious but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks a bunch :)
Chad

Good Christ. Yes. Obvious. That never occurred to me. I was so so focused on it being a skill and using the skill section.

Thanks man :)

another question, this time card search engine:
Can I search for different strings like "Seeds" AND "for free"? (for example to filter all seed cards that allow something for free)

I believe there's some Black Magic methods, but usually I just search "for free" and then control-F for "seeds" to highlight in browser.

It's two searches, but it works:

First search for "seeds%for free", then search for "for free%seeds".

"%" is a wildcard character. Fairly sure it used to be an opening for SQL injection, too, but eberlems patched that nonsense.

Ran the update. Still having issues. Also noting […]
