How to ignore furigana on anki search?
I'm really struggling to use the search function in anki due to furigana from the migaku addon.
For example, I know i have a card with the word 置く on the front of it, so i type 置く into the search bar and nothing comes up, because in reality the card with 置く written on the front is technically says 置[お,おく;h]く
Now this isnt a problem at the moment while my collection is small, I can type something like 置*く and search through like 20 unrelated cards and i'll eventually find the correct one but in the long run this isn't going to work. I want to be able to find the exact card I want immediately.
Is the only answer to remove furigana from the target word field?
Any advice on this?

another example, I cannot properly search for this card in the picture above by searching 付く because the card TECHNICALLY reads
付[つ,つく;k1,o]く
付[つ,つく;k1,o]く

A good strategy for this is to keep another field on your card format that is unformatted (no furigana). That retains the searchability and works better with extensions like Morphman, where you want an accurate text version of your knowledge-base.

Ahh i see that's a good idea, do you happen to know how i would go about setting this up within anki and the card creator so that new cards i add are like this?
Think i figured it out actually
