Searching by Keyword or Phrase

You can search all investigations, studies, and assays in the CSSI DCC Portal by keyword or phrase. A search looks for matches in all file columns, field definitions, and placeholders in those investigations, studies, and assays.

...

1. From the CSSI Data Portal home page, click the Search button or select Investigations > Search.
   
   
   The Search Investigations page appears.
   
2. In the Search box, enter a keyword or phrase. Search terms fewer than 4 characters are treated as full words. Search terms of 4 or more characters are treated as both full words and partial words, if applicable.
3. In the Search for box, select the context of the search. Options include Investigations, Studies, or Assays. Your search will be restricted to the context you select.
   

   Search results appear below the search criteria area.

   In the following example of search results, the keyword for the search is cell and the context is Investigations. All investigations that include the word cell anywhere in the investigation metadata appear in these search results.

   
   If the context were Studies or Assays, the results would include information specific to these components, as follows:

   • Search results from a search with a context of Studies display the study name, name of the investigation the study is associated with, number of assays, number of files, and description. In these cases, the investigation name and study names are identical.

   • Search results from a search with a context of Assays display the assay filename, name of the study that the assay is associated with, name of the investigation the assay is associated with, number of files (such as image files), and description.

     Info
     Click View next to the search term to view detailed search results, including where in the metadata your search term occurs.

4. To further narrow your results, you can filter by Investigation Public Release Date. Click Filters to show the From and To date selection boxes. Click Search. Note that if you do not enter a search term but select dates in this filter that the CSSI DCC Portal searches all investigations that match the dates you selected.
   Investigations matching your search appear on the page.
