  • Searches are not case sensitive. Searches for Gene and gene return the same results.
  • In any editable text field, enter a search string, complete or partial. This does not apply to numeric fields such as CDE Public ID. 
  • For some fields, you can adjust the search scope (you can specify IS NULL, IS NOT NULL, NOT LIKE, Exact Phrase Match, All Of The Words, or One Of The Words) by clicking the Advanced Filter icon. 
  • For text fields, using a percent sign such as "gene%" will find values that start with "gene".
  • (TBD: Will users be able to use an asterisk as a wildcard in any editable text field?)(TBD: Will editable text fields have the feature known as type-ahead or auto-complete?)
  • The system processes search criteria as AND statements, so only CDEs that fulfill all the criteria are returned.
  • To reset a list of values, click the Clear Values icon next to that list. 
  • When you remove or change search criteria, the system does not update search results until you click Apply Filter again.
