201.11 Smart Stacks

Smart Stacks allow you to create stacks of Cards from any Stack based on your search criteria. 

This is ideal if you have information spread in different Stacks and you want to regulary come back to find these Cards.  A good example is you might have added the word 'to do' to different Cards in different Stacks and your Smart Stack will show all these cards, regardless of where they are in NoteDex.   Smart Stacks allow you to have multiiple search terms and you can also select a Global tag. This can save you a lot of time looking for cards and will make you more productive to action them!
