Usage

Search from the current page

  1. Make sure Anki is running (with AnkiConnect installed)
  2. On any supported page, click the Malleus extension button in your toolbar — or right-click the page and choose Search Malleus Deck
  3. An Anki Browser window opens with all the related cards, ready to unsuspend, study, or move to a filtered deck

This works for most pages whose title starts with the disease or drug name — the extension matches the page against the Malleus Notion databases (Subjects, Pharmacology, eTG) and searches your collection by the matching tags.

Search from selected text

When a page title doesn't match (or you only care about part of the page):

  1. Select any text on the page and right-click the selection
  2. Choose Search Malleus with Selected Text
  3. The extension cleans up the selection (removing separators and extra whitespace) and searches the deck for related cards

Example workflows

eMedici — review a question as normal, then click the extension button to bring up every Malleus card on that topic. Great for consolidating right after getting a question wrong.

eTG — reading a therapeutic topic? One click surfaces the cards sourced from that guideline.

The Malleus Notion site — search for a disease (e.g. atrial fibrillation) with the site's search, open its page, then click the extension button. Currently supports pages from the Subjects (diseases) and Pharmacology databases.

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens / connection error — Anki isn't running, or AnkiConnect isn't installed. Start Anki and try again.
  • Wrong or missing results on some pages — other extensions that modify the page (e.g. the AMBOSS extension) can interfere, especially on eTG. Disable them for that site if you see issues.
  • Doesn't work on PDFs — this is a known limitation; use text selection on an HTML version, or search in Anki directly.
  • Broken after an update — some versions are incompatible with prior versions; remove and reinstall the extension.
  • Still stuck? Ask in Discord or open an issue.
