When you open up your Collection, there are several quick filters you can choose from. Game Format, Card Set, Class and Mana Cost. However, you can do so much more!
In the Search box, you can write different types of commands to filter by more specific rules than the basic interface provides. The text search function searches through basically any element of the card, meaning it not only searches places like a card name, text or tribe, but also a card's class or type. Off course you can filter by keywords or rarity as well. And you can combine two or more filters at once!
Basic Search Commands
- Attack - attack:<value>, attack:<value>-, attack:<value>+, attack:<value1>-<value2>
- Ex.: "attack:1-" or "attack:3-5"
- Health - health:<value>, health:<value>-, health:<value>+, health:<value1>-<value2>
- Mana Cost - mana:<value>, mana:<value>-, mana:<value>+, mana:<value1>-<value2>
- Tip: trying to find cards to fit in your Genn or Baku deck? try "mana:even" or "mana:odd"
- Owned - owned:<value>, owned:<value>-, owned:<value>+, owned:<value1>-<value2>
- Tip: "owned:3+" is especially useful to those who like to DE cards manually, this way you can easilly identify the cards you have more than 2 copies of; different from "Extra" keyword since it doesn't count regular and golden cards together!

- Rarity - rarity:<value> (free, common, rare, epic, legendary)
- Card Type - type:<value> (minion, spell, weapon, hero)
- Artist: artist:name

Special Commands
By default, when you input text string into a search box, the search function searches for that exact text string. So, for example, typing "in giant" will display only Mountain Giant because no other card has that exact text string, anywhere.
What do we mean by anywhere? Let me show you: if you type in "elemental c" the results might surprise you, it will be Quartz Elemental and Air Elemental. But why? Because their name ends with "elemental" and their card text starts with "c" (Can't).
If we would type in "elemental cry", no results are shown, because there is no such exact text string anywhere on any card.
-however-
By using "has:<text>" command, we can search for a specific word, phrase or combination of letters. Lets use our last example, if we type in "elemental has:cry" we get a plenty of results now, mostly because there are a lot of elementals with battlecry, which containts the "cry" part we searched for alongside the elemental tribe.
The "has" command is also a very useful tool for when you want to combine more filters together. For example, what if i wanted to search for that 1-cost elemental that always gives my opponent a copy of my best card? You know ... the ... the ... oh man, what was its name again? Oh wait! I can just type in "elemental has:copy mana:1" and voila! Yes! Crystalline Oracle is what i was looking for! izi :)
Feel free to add other useful commands you know of in the comment section below, we can include them in the guide later.

Is there a similar article for the Mercenaries collection filters ?
I found those to be working:
I'd like a "not maxed" filter but I couldn't find one. level:<value> is not working.
Not that I'm aware of, but good points bringing up Mercenaries. Ultimately it will depend on what Blizz did (not) forget about when reusing the code for Mercs collection manager. Some parts ended up being more functional than others. With filters, we will have to discover what works and what doesn't by trial and error most likely.
Hello,
Will this be updated for Forged in the barrens?
Now we need to know how to search for tribe like for ex: type or tribe:elemental type:quilboar and such
Also FITB word works for all forged in the barrens cards!
Thanks
Hi, you can already search for specific tribes by writing said tribe in the search box ;-)
Is there a way to quickly filter altered/modified (nerfed/buffed) cards?
Or a better question, is there a way to quickly filter cards that I can collect full dust refund?
Just don't try to search for extra arms (just type arms)
good tips! thanks out of cards!
Hi everybody,
I want to search for the extra copies of cards. Becouse I don't want to press the disenchant bottom yet.
Do you remember how to do it?
I think I was able to do so....
Thanks
owned:3+
Finaly I saw it.
How this would work in Spanish???
Damn, to be honest, i didnt think about other languages, i kinda assumed that at least the basic commands would be universal, but they actually are not, like at all.
Only thing i managed to get working in Spanish was "extra" command. It shows you cards you have extra copies of, not as good as "owned:3+" if you collect golden versions as well, but better than nothing.
If you manage to find what commands work in Spanish, feel free to PM me, i will add them to the guide ;-) Or if anyone else finds commands in other languages, PM me and i will add them as well

Here's the official link I found. I hope it's useful.
Oh yeah, that is great! I can search for other languages too and potentially add them, thanks :)
And why is is not directly in HearthStone under a "help filter" button ?!?!?!? weird me think ...
Sorry I need help with this. I need to search for all cards that have devine shield, what would I type?
As Horus said, just type "Divine Shield" into the search box. You can filter by any keyword that way (Taunt, Rush etc.) ;-)
"Pro" tip: make sure you dont have also a certain mana cost selected (unless you want to). Happens to me often when i look for a card with certain cost, forget about it, type something in the search box and get no results :D
Its a 2 steps operation ; 1) Get the spelling right : Divine shield, 2) Search Divine Shield into the search box ^^
Aaah thanks guys. I was typing it like this <divine shield>. That explains why it wasn't working.
Many thanks, much time searching for this kind of guide!
These are the articles I am looking for on hearthstone forums! Well done and thank you for the example based explanations)) Keep it up!!
