18 <h3>Quick Search Help</h3><p>The quick search
19 functionality is part of the <a href=
20 "toolbar.pl">toolbar</a> on top of almost every
21 SGN web page. To use it, simply enter a search term
22 in the text input box and click on the quick search
23 button. The search can take a while depending on
24 the actual word you search. Specifically, words
25 that appear in many of the blast annotations, such
26 'Arabidopsis', will increase search time.</p>
28 <p>Quick search performs a series of searches in
29 the database and displays a summary page of the
30 matches. For each of the searches, a line is
31 displayed with information how many entities were
32 matched in the database.</p>
34 <p>If entities were found in the database, a link
35 is provided to complete the actual search. Click on
36 that link to see the search results.</p>
38 <p>The individual quick searches do the
39 following:</p>
41 <dl>
42 <dt><strong>Identifier searches</strong></dt>
44 <dd>Identifier searches perform exact match
45 searches on clone, est, unigene and marker
46 identifiers in the database</dd>
48 <dt><br /><strong>Annotation searches</strong></dt>
50 <dd>The annotation searches search the manual and
51 automatic annotation that are available for
52 unigenes. They report the number of annotations
53 and the number of corresponding unigenes that
54 were found. If there are more than 5000
55 annotation matches, the number of unigenes is not
56 reported to save on querying time.</dd>
58 <dt><br /><strong>People search</strong></dt>
60 <dd>Searches the last name as a sub-string match
61 in the SGN People Directory.</dd>
63 <dt><br /><strong>Library search</strong></dt>
65 <dd>Searches the libraries on name, tissue,
66 development stage, authors, and other fields as a
67 substring search.</dd>
69 <dt><br /><strong>SGN Pages search</strong></dt>
71 <dd>Performs a Google search on the
72 sgn.cornell.edu domain. Please note that when we
73 re-arrange pages on the SGN site, it may take
74 Google a number of days to re-index the site, so
75 sometimes the pages you find with this search
76 will not be valid. However, we will try to keep
77 site rearrangements to a minimum.</dd>
79 <dt><br /><strong>Pages on the entire web</strong></dt>
81 <dd>Performs a Google search without the
82 sgn.cornell.edu domain constraint. Searches the
83 entire web.</dd>
