The following FAQ is thanks to Guinea Pig. Please read and follow it.
What does the Orb of Insight count?
The Orb of Insight counts all occurences of a single word in the name(s), mana cost(s), typeline(s), rule text(s), reminder text(s), artist name, and power/toughness of all cards in a given set. It counts mana costs such as 3W and power/toughness combinations such as 2/1 as single words.
The Orb of Insight does not count words found in the flavor texts of cards unless it is somehow broken. That has only been the case once so far.
What is this special code thing?
You must type in the special code you see at the bottom of the Orb to verify that you are an actual human being rather than an automatized process designed to check every word. If you don't see a special code, then something is wrong with the Orb. Check back later.
Does capitalization matter?
No. It matters neither in the search word nor in the special code.
If I get a result of 6 for Dragon, or 15 for Sliver, does that mean there are 6 Dragon/15 Sliver cards in the set?
In all likelihood, no. The orb counts occurences, not cards. A card named "Fiery Dragon" with type "Creature - Dragon" and rules text "Flying; R: Fiery Dragon gets +1/+0 until end of turn" would contribute 3 occurences of the word Dragon. Likewise, Sliver cards usually use the word Sliver at least three times per card (Name, Type, Ability).
I don't get results for searches like "Counter target spell". Why?
The orb does not search phrases, only single words.
I'm getting 1 result for Mountainwalk, but 0 results for walk. Why?
The Orb only counts whole words, not partial words. Likewise, plurals and singulars are different words. If you get 10 results for Goblin and 1 result for Goblins, the former does not include the latter.
There don't seem to be any results for can't, creature's, etc...
The Orb usually has a problem with the apostrophe normally found on keyboards. Copy this->’<-apostrophe and use it in your words. That should do it.
There don't seem to be any results for non-creature, non-land, etc...
For colors, types, and supertypes, you omit the hyphen from the word (noncreature, nonland). You only use the hyphen for subtypes (non-Goblin, non-Lair).
There don't seem to be any results for certain mana costs, such as B3 or GR...
The mana costs follow a strict pattern. The generic cost is always listed first, and X is listed before numbers. For colored mana, the pattern is:
2 colors
WU - UB - BR - RG - GW
UR - WB - BG - RW - GU
How can I search for words that include non-english letters such as ä, ö, ü, or Æ?
Unfortunately, you can't with the current version of the Orb.
How can I find certain symbols such as hybrid mana?
Hybrid mana is C/D, where C is the first color of mana, and D is the second, such as W/U.
Snow mana is S. The untap symbol is Q.
Loyalty symbols for Planeswalker abilities are +N or -N, where N is any number or X.
I'm getting a strange result...
It's likely from an artist name.
... Boros
Zoltan Boros, artist.
... D as single word
D. Alexander Gregory, artist.
... E or M as single words
E. M. Gist, Scott M Fischer, and Thomas M. Baxa, artists.
... Mark as single word
Several artists (Mark Brill, Mark Tedin, Mark Zug). Occasionally a card name.
... rk or post as single word
rk post, artist.
S or Waters as single words
Anthony S Waters, artist. Unless there are many instances of S, then it might be the Snow mana symbol.
... Rush as single word
Christopher Rush, artist. Occasionally a card name.
... Seagrave as single word
Dan Seagrave, artist.
... Walker as single word
Kev Walker, artist. Rarely, there might be a card with Walker in its name.
There seem to be a lot of occurences of certain words...
They're probably normal, and you might be missing another word that usually goes with those words, such as "remove" for "game," or "turn" for "end." On the other hand, you might just have found the name of or a hint to a mechanic!
Also, in a large set, there is a full complement of 20 basic lands, four for each color. Each basic land version provides two instances of the land's name, for a total of 8.
Use the 'search this thread' function before posting here. If the result you want to post is not in the compilation, post it. If it is in the compilation, we know about it already.
This thread is ONLY for results that give 1 or more instances in the orb. Things that bring back 0 are not very useful here.
* Planeswalker names/subtypes are not included; they are now all known (it's just Jace).
* A result annotated as "X/Y" indicates that X of the Y Orb instances are used in that section. Example: Angel 3/5 under Proper Nouns is stating that Angel is used as a proper noun 3 out of the 5 times (i.e. - it's part of the card name).

This category means Orb hits that could go who knows where. (e.g. - "Warren" could be artist and/or part of a card name)
Charge - 2 (Card name? Counter type? Both like ZEN?)
Eldrazi - This could possibly become a creature type (like Surrakar), given what the next set is. It's still currently a proper noun.
Rest - 1 (Name or text?)
Quest - 20 (Guessing 6 quest cards?)
Wall - 1 (Probably for creature type.)
Ability Text
Win the game/lose the game: 0
Permanents are lands: 0 (Disproves that fake card from a little while back...
Return all lands: 0 (Disproves Worldwake the card once more)
Surrakar= 4
I guess we're getting a few more of those guys after the one in Zendikar.
Other words of note
T = 29
Add= 15
Pool= 17
Land= 71 (even with 16 of these accounted for by landfall this seems like a lot. So presumably cycle of celestial collonade lands and maybe even a cycle of auras like vastwood zendikon in the wizards visual spoiler).
Given that the zendikon is listed under worldwake mechanics in that spoiler, it seems likely there's a cycle of these enchantments, which would take up 15 of these instances. Assuming Collonade has a 5 card cycle as well then that leaves 20 instances of land unaccounted for.
Surrakar= 4
I guess we're getting a few more of those guys after the one in Zendikar.

Except I don't think the Orb looks at partial matches so there will be a lot of cards that care about lands.

This category means Orb hits that could go who knows where. (e.g. - "Warren" could be artist and/or part of a card name)
Charge - 2 (Card name? Counter type? Both like ZEN?)
Eldrazi - This could possibly become a creature type (like Surrakar), given what the next set is. It's still currently a proper noun.
Rest - 1 (Name or text?)
Quest - 20 (Guessing 6 quest cards?)
Wall - 1 (Probably for creature type.)

Thank god.
Sign up for League of Legends!
I guess we're getting a few more of those guys after the one in Zendikar.
Other words of note
T = 29
Add= 15
Pool= 17
Land= 71 (even with 16 of these accounted for by landfall this seems like a lot. So presumably cycle of celestial collonade lands and maybe even a cycle of auras like vastwood zendikon in the wizards visual spoiler).
Given that the zendikon is listed under worldwake mechanics in that spoiler, it seems likely there's a cycle of these enchantments, which would take up 15 of these instances. Assuming Collonade has a 5 card cycle as well then that leaves 20 instances of land unaccounted for.
13/13 - 1 (?!)
0/0 - 1
about reverberate
Basically If you see this word you don't need to read the rest of the post.
Except I don't think the Orb looks at partial matches so there will be a lot of cards that care about lands.
