Single term query
This query specifies only one term for retrieving all of the documents which contain that term.
For example: Homology

AND query
This query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all of the documents which contain both terms. Insert space between the terms. Please specify query in the box "all of these words" for detail search.
For example: BLAST accession

OR query
Quick search does not support this function. Please specify query in the box "any of these words" of detail search.
This query specifies two or more terms for retrieving all documents which contain any one term. Insert spece between the terms.
For example: BLAST accession

NOT query
This query specifies terms for retrieving all of the documents which do not contain the terms.
In quick search: Attach "-" to the unextract term.
For example:GetEntry -BLAST
Above example returns result which contains GetEntry and does not contain BLAST.
In detail search: Specify unextract terms in the box "none of these words". Insert spece between the terms.
For example: BLAST

Phrase searching
You can search for a phrase that consists of two or more terms.
In quick search: Speciry them with double quotation marks such as "...".
For example: "Homo sapiens"
In detail search: Speciry term in the box "the exact phrase".
For example: Homo sapiens

Substring matching
This function is not supported.

Distinctions of alphabet characters
In any queries, ignores case distinctions of alphabet characters.

Query includes symbols
This system can handle a term which contains symbols like SWISS-Prot. Since this method of handling isn't complete, you can also describe the term as SWISS Prot instead of SWISS-Prot, but it may cause noisy results.
