Good to know

Keys and values don't care about case or accents: T:FIRE and o:pokemon work.
Put a value with spaces in quotes: a:"Mitsuhiro Arita". List choices with |: t:fire|water.
The NL price counts only when it's within a third to three times the Europe trend, like everywhere on ShinyHits.
A plain search without any key works exactly as it always has.
Signed in, any search can be saved: with an alert for new matches, as a binder, or for a random card.
Card text comes from TCGdex. Trainer and Special Energy rules text is stored as each card's details are refreshed, so a Trainer o: doesn't find yet is one whose text hasn't arrived.
