The Geneious Prime database can be searched by entering the term you are looking for in the Search box at the top right of the tool bar.
The search field can be used to search for documents, folders and operations within Geneious.
When the search field is selected, the search popup initially provides a list of recently browsed documents and folders for quick access. A timestamp will be shown to the right of each recent item, this represents the time this item was last opened. The search field can be opened at any time using the shortcut cmd/cntrl-shift-F.
As you enter the search query, matching results will be updated in real time. By default, all folders in both local and Shared databases will be searched. To restrict the document search results to the current folder, change the Search setting from ”Everywhere” to ”This folder”. The Match option enables you to choose between searching all fields or just the document name. These settings will be remembered until either the search query is cleared or a highlighted item has been selected.
To filter the current folder according to your search query, just press enter after entering the query. This automatically opens the advanced search in the currently selected folder, and shows only matching documents in the table. For other filtering options, see section 4.2.3 .
If unexpected errors occur during the search process, an error status will be shown in red on the bottom of the popup. Click on Details for more information on the errors encountered. These should not be a common occurrence. If you experience errors consistently, consider contacting Support with the information in the error details dialog attached.
