Search Improvements

Several changes to the new search facility are now available on the Development Site.

  • Search parameters are now remembered during page navigation. Previously, if you navigated to a different page in the search results, the search form at the bottom of the page would be reset. Now it remembers, allowing you to refine your original search.
  • Blastx has been added to the blast tools page and the form has been redesigned to make it easier to use. Finally, the activation button caption has been changed from Go to Blast.
  • There is a table of contents on the Advanced Search Page so that users can get to the search they want more quickly.
  • The NMPDR and GBrowse buttons in the search results are now real buttons instead of hyperlinked images. In addition, the styles have been updated in NMPDR.css to fix the glitch that caused the button text to shrink when you clicked it.
  • The word feature has been replaced with gene in all the explanation, caption, and help text. The link to the FidSearch tool on the Search page has been changed from Advanced to Genes to distinguish it from the Advanced button.
  • The search box on the genome list control is once more button-activated. The button contains the text describing the box's purpose.
