You can search all investigations, studies, and assays in the CSSI DCC Portal by field-specific keyword or phrase. You can select one or more ISA tab fields, and then apply a search term to each specific field.
A field-specific search typically reduces the number of search results. For example, consider a system that has two investigations with 'tumor' mentioned only in the Investigation Title field, and two investigations with 'tumor' mentioned only in the Investigation Description field. In this example, if you search for 'tumor' as a basic search, the system lists four investigations. However, if you search for 'tumor' within the Investigation Title only, the system lists only two investigations.
To search ISA Tab fields
Perform a basic search, as described in Performing a Basic Search. Search results appear below the search criteria area.
Next to Advanced Search, click Show. The Advanced Search panel appears.
From the list, select the field in which you want to search. The fields available depend on the selected context (Investigations, Studies, or Assays). For example, if you have selected the Investigation context, you can filter search results by Investigation Public Release Date.
For each field that you have selected, enter a keyword or phrase. Search is not case-sensitive.
For example, if you have selected the Investigation context and the Investigation Public Release Date field, you could enter the following date range for that field:
04/01/2018 through 04/18/2018- If you want to remove an individual field, click the X next to it. (If you want to clear all fields, click Clear Advanced Search.)
- Click Run Search (or press Enter). Search results with an exact match appear below the search criteria area.
