The search is not case sensitive : you can write either ABCD, Abcd or abcd.

You can search for a Uniprot Accession number, a Uniprot gene symbol, a taxon ID or a taxon name from a bacterial or a host taxon. You can also look for a publication identifier from PubMed, a detection method or an interaction type. The WHO Priority levels and Hazard groups only concern the pathogen taxa.

The advanced search feature allows you to build complex queries by combining multiple filters. Each filter consists of three components:
• Filed Selection: Choose the type of data you want to filter, such as Uniprot AC, Taxon ID, Publication ID, or Detection Method.
• Condition Selection: Define how the value should be compared, using options like 'is equal to', 'contains', or 'does not contain'.
• Value Input: Enter the search term(s) based on your chosen field and condition.

Conditions and input rules:
• "is equal to" and "is different from" accept only one value. The results should match exactly the value.
• "contains" and "does not contain" accept multiple values, separated by a comma. These can be partial values (for exemple: 'sapiens' instead of 'Homo sapiens' or 'mass spec' instead of 'mass spectrometry studies of complexes'.

Combining multiple filters: you can add multiple filters by clicking "Add condition". Filters can be combined using AND or OR to refine your query:
• AND: Results must match all conditions. (Stricter search)
• OR: Results must match at least one condition. (Broader search)

NB: Any OR clause is associated to the last AND clause !
For example if you set the following filters:
> condition1 AND condition2 OR condition3 OR condition4 AND condition5 OR condition6
The resulting condition query would be:
> condition1 AND (condition2 OR condition3 OR condition4) AND (condition5 OR condition6)
