Hello all, perhaps it's user error, hoping someone can help. 

I wanted a way to find all of certain types of cards across my collection, such as 1/1s. I know that I can search by SN1, but to get to the filter I need to select Baseball, and then a team. 

I wanted to be able to search ALL of my 1/1s. So my plan was to add a comment of SN1 to each of them. However, when I go into my collection page, select "Search the Comment field in your collection" link near the bottom, and type in SN1, it returns nothing. 

My understanding is that the Comment field on a card page is for your own use and should be searchable. What am I doing wrong? 

Link to one in question. Thanks all. 

I created my own collection tags. One of them is Serial Number 1/1's. When doing a Detailed Add for a card, I then pick a tag if needed for that card. Then I can search my Tags on my Main Collection page (for 1/1's let's say or Miscuts--yeah, I have one for those) and they all come up nicely.

Thanks for your reply. 
 

Perhaps I’m confused again, I thought tags were public. When I looked through tags, I didn’t see a 1/1 or SN1 to use. 

You can make your own tags that aren"t public when doing Detailed Add in your collection. There is a spot for that when adding your cards.

Great thanks, I didn't know about this when I added everything to my main collection, but this is working. Guess I need to move everything to a new collection and do the detailed add on each. 

Appreciate the feedback! 

Glad to help. I'm still learning different ways of doing things based on forum conversations here like the one about multiple collections. Will probably do that myself.
