Performing a basic search

A basic search lets you find traits using parameters, input lists, or conditions. Let’s start your first basic search!

Search using query parameters

1. From the Traits tool, locate the Query Parameters section on the upper part of the page.

Open

2. You may provide the trait variable names that you want to search for. You can enter multiple values separated by commas. You may also use the wildcard (%) symbol if you don’t know the exact variable name (e.g. plant%).

3. You may also specify the type of data you will be searching for by selecting from the drop-down menu. Data types are character varying (e.g. Type of fertilizer), date (2021-05-04), float (1.5cm), integer (10 seeds), or text.

4. Afterward, click Find to execute your query.

Once the results have finished loading, you can manage your results or use additional search parameters.

Search using conditions

1. From the Query Parameters section, click on Additional Search Parameters > Add Condition.

2. It will insert a new search parameter that contains the (1) filter type and (2) condition. You may refer to the drop-down below for their value choices.

3. Afterward, provide the values on the blank field on the right and separate them with commas. You may click the Add Condition button again to add more parameters.

4. Once satisfied, click Find to execute your search.

Great job! You have successfully performed an additional search.
