Default search text for Browser as in Desktop

[daddydave]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When going into Browser on AnkiDroid, I often have to manually type in -is:suspended to hide the suspended cards.

Describe the solution you'd like Desktop Anki has a "Default search text" feature (Tools > Preferences > Editing tab > Browsing section. This would be nice to see in AnkiDroid as well. I suppose Settings > General would be a logical place to put it, but no strong opinions on that.

Describe alternatives you've considered Manually typing -is:suspended each time to hide suspended cards

Additional context Here it is in Desktop Anki.

Taking it up, @david-allison what is the use case for the changes you mentioned? We will be using shared pref if I am right in AnkiDroid

Ahh the card browser refactor, umm lets wait then its pending for a long time now.

I am also struggling with this. I tried using the JS solution from #9247 to make buttons but failed miserably. This suggestion would also work for me. I have all my cards tagged with the kanji present in their main field. On the PC, I use an addon to add tags as clickable buttons. They open the search using "tag: "kanji")". With this, I can check cards with the same kanji. It's a great tool for studying new cards and to hammer down cards you keep failing.
