Text Searching

The text search performs a query across all of the descriptions for proteins that are within the database.

Query Syntax

It is also possible to indicate terms that you do not want to be included in the search results. Once you have listed the terms that you want to search for use the "NOT" command then type each term that is not to be included in the output.

For example the text search query:

will bring back a search where the protein description contains the words "replication" or "factor", but not proteins that contain the word "licensing".
