Some Minor Search Improvements

The Search button in the Genome Menu has been removed. When doing a string-select search in the genome menu, the selection will take place as soon as the focus moves away from the text box. The instructions have been updated to say that you type in a string and press TAB instead of typing in a string and clicking the button. The search has also been made case-insensitive.

The Advanced button has been sprinkled around the site again. It takes the user to the FidSearch module. An advanced-search button is also now available on the word search page, since that's where a standard search request will land the user.

The ability to BLAST must be on the advanced page or on its own button. It is too often used to be so hard to get to.

thanks, leslie

This is not hard, actually. At one time, the advanced search displayed all the forms, but that got to be too slow. My plan is to have a configuration item that lists the search forms to be shown on the advanced page. It will go in along with the subsystem search page.
