It will be nice to be able to find some specific hand using some key feature of the hand such as H K109, D Axxx, in 4S, from VuGraph archives, etc. Or, 4S, Dbl 4 down vul, by opponents, from the hands I had played over a specified time period.

Sometimes, you want to recollect a full hand for some discussions with your partner, but you cannot reconstruct the whole. For example, after a disaster, you prefer not to discuss the hand until much later. Then forget the full details, and want to pull up the exact hand from the features you remember.

A kind of a Google for Hands with specific features, using the rich database of hands played by everybody. Potentially, the database of hands, together with the search-engine, can be used for data-mining for a variety of uses.

Double Dummy Solver is a shareware program you can use to sort BBO hands in numerous ways using filters.

You can download your own boards or boards for any BBO name.

Among the search filters are: partner, who opened, opening bid, final contract, and many others. Using these criteria you can find most any type of hand you wish. My partner and I play weak 1NT (12-14) and I use DD Solver to track our performance on hands we open 1NT as well as our overall performance.

You may also get a summary that tells you things like percentage of slams missed, % of game missed, missed doubles, etc.
