Having trouble searching for only The Ur-Dragon as a commander.

TappedOut forum

As the title states, I'm having issues for searching only The Ur-Dragon decks when I type it into the commander search box, as it also comes up with Scion of the Ur-Dragon decks. Is there a way to search that I only get Ur-Dragon decks and not Scion decks, like being able to exclude Scion from the search? Any help will be appreciated.

Click the search icon.

Click "Deck Search."

Click the field labeled "Commander [EDH]."

Type "The Ur"

Click "The Ur-Dragon."

Click "Filter results."

PhotogenicParasympathetic: the search mechanic that tapped out employs must use a "contains" command (last time I checked). This means that it will return all decks where commander contains 'the ur-dragon', returning both commanders.

No, you can literally search for the card. Don't type anything into the "search" function.

I followed your instructions, this is the search results:

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/search/?q=&cards=&general=the-ur-dragon&price_0=&price_1=&o=-date_updated&submit=Filter+results

on page 2, there is the first Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck and there are more after this.

As I said, on the back end side of things it looks like the filter uses a "general contains 'XYZ'" rather than "general = 'XYZ'" query. So for this corner case (since 'Scion of the ur-dragon' contains 'the ur-dragon') there is no way to differentiate.
