Overview
In addition to the traditional search, AmiGO now provides a powerful method of rapidly searching using pre-computed indexes.
Basic Usage
The largest initial difference, when comapared to the traditional AmiGO search, is that results are returned incrementally as you type. It should be noted that the search only increments when there are over three characters entered and when you are typing forward (backspaces and the like will not increment the search). All examples in the Basic Usage section will assume that you are doing a gene product search (by clicking on the "Gene Product" tab in the search interface).
For our first example, let's say that you want to search for "pleckstrin". As you type it in, you will get results incrementally returned for "ple", "plec", and finally "pleckstrin". If you continued and entered:
pleckstrin domain
You would get a list of gene products that contain in their record "pleckstrin", "domain", or both. If you wanted to search for the phrase "pleckstrin domain", where the words occur side by side, you would have to put the phrase in quotes:
"pleckstrin domain"
Filtering
TODO
Simple Boolean Operators
You may also use boolean logic and nesting in the search. For example, if you wanted to see all records that contain both "pleckstrin" and "domain" in them, you would enter:
pleckstrin and domain
gives gene products that contain both. Finally, you may also use one of the various results filters to constrain your search. For example, if you click "RGD" under "Source" and input "pleckst", the items returned will contain "pleckst" and/or be sourced from RGD.
For more information about the query syntax, please see the lucene documentation.
Additional Search Fields
In additional to typing search text, there are also special fields that you can add to constrain the search beyond the listed filters. These special fields are different depending on whether you are search for terms or gene products.
Term Search
TODO: complete list for terms
Gene Product Search
TODO: complete list for gene products
For example:
aatf and homolset:yes
gives all gene products that contain the string "aatf" and are also a member of a homolog set.
Experimental
On the AmiGO Labs server, there may also be similar Live Search implementations for dbxrefs and associations.
Troubleshooting
- Live Search may occasionally drop a packet of results as you type (especially for fast typers). If you think you should have gotten results, but the display seems "stuck", try erasing the last letter and retyping it.
- Live Search is a new piece of software and some of the AmiGO_Labs caveats may apply as bugs are worked out. If you have a problem, please contact the GO Helpdesk.
- While we aim to be functional on as wide a variety of platforms and browsers as possible, this software depends on features that may not be found in older systems. A complete compatibility list is currently under construction.
