## DESCRIPTION
### Search ### Search patterns In the text field you can enter multiple search patterns. Different patterns are separated by newlines or commas. '?' is treated as single letter wildcard '#' is an end-of-line comment Text written behind # will not be used for search. Instead this text will be displayed in the message window when you position your cursor on a found pattern. ### Mark species with matches Marks all species which match one of the current search patterns. Does not unmark rest on species. ### Last/Next Jumps to the last/next occurrence of any of the given patterns. You can repeat your last search by pressing CTRL-S. ### Show ? If checked, the found parts are shown in different background colors (defined at Properties/Data Search) If the different search patterns overlap, they are shown in the following order: User (shown above all others) Probe Primer (shown below all other) ### Open folded? If checked, the Last/Next-Button will open folded groups, to jump to the next occurrence. Otherwise search will jump over folded groups. ### Auto jump? If checked, the cursor will automatically jump to the nearest occurrence, if you change the search pattern or other search parameters. ### Ignore gaps in sequence? If checked, gaps in sequence will be ignored. (ACGU will find A-CG-U, AC---GU, ...) ### Ignore gaps in pattern? If checked, gaps in the search pattern will be ignored. (A-CG-U, AC---GU, ... will find ACGU) ### Treat T and U as match? If checked, T and U will be treated as equal. (ACGU will find ACGT and vice versa) ### Ignore case? If checked, a and A, c and C, ... are treated as equal (aCGu will find ACGU, AcgU, acgu, ...) ### Search for complement? If checked, search will go as well for complemented patterns. ### Search for reverse? If checked, search will go as well for reversed patterns. ### Exact! If checked, search will only go for the given combination of 'complement' and 'reverse'.
    Example: If 'Exact', 'complement' and 'reverse' are checked,
             search will go only for complemented AND reversed
             patterns.
