18 "toolbar.pl">toolbar</a> on top of almost every
19 SGN web page. To use it, simply enter a search term
20 in the text input box and click on the quick search
21 button. The search can take a while depending on
22 the actual word you search. Specifically, words
23 that appear in many of the blast annotations, such
24 'Arabidopsis', will increase search time.</p>

27 the database and displays a summary page of the
28 matches. For each of the searches, a line is
29 displayed with information how many entities were
30 matched in the database.</p>
