The Quick Search Tool is located in the top right corner of each view.
Search for genes or SNPs by typing any text in the search field, then click or press Enter. When the search is complete, any genes that were found will be automatically selected in all views.
If desired, save this selection as a gene/SNP set by selecting Data > Remember Selected [Genes, SNPs, Table Rows, etc.].
By default, the text fields of all genes/SNPs will be searched, including gene names, all annotations, and user notes.
You may further refine your search by clicking the drop-down arrow next to the magnifying glass. This presents a menu with the following options:
Option |
Description |
Advanced Filtering |
Opens the Advanced Filtering dialog pre-filled with the current search criteria. |
All Genes |
Specifies that all genes will be searched. |
All Genes Shown |
Specifies that all genes displayed in the current view will be searched. |
Selected Genes |
Specifies that only the currently selected genes will be searched. |
Gene or SNP Sets |
Any gene or SNP sets you have created will be listed in this menu and available for you to select. Selecting a gene (or SNP) set specifies that only the genes (or SNPs) within the chosen gene (or SNP) set will be searched. |
Ontology Term Names |
This option is only available from the Gene Ontology view. When selected, the Quick Search Tool will search all ontology terms for the text you entered. Note that when this option is selected, the search results will be ontology terms, not genes. |
The Quick Search Tool does not search for genes in the views listed below. Instead, it searches for information more applicable to the view:
