Hi Richard,

I am trying to search across my annotations, but cannot get it to work. For example I have a feature HPO-Comment (intern name: noHPOcomment) on the Phenotypes layer, which takes some free text, see below:

but the search below does not return anything. Cannot figure out why. It should find the highlighted text, whose HPO-Comment starts with "not".

Hope you can help.
Thanks
Andreas

At a first glance, try "Phenotypes.HPO-comment". The search should current index using the UI names instead of the internal names.

Hi Richard,

That’s it! I misinterpreted the manual, thinking you were referring to the internal names. Works as advertised with the UI names! This search feature is actually really great!
Thanks
Andreas
