Search Box

The search box at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar lets you search for items in the sidebar. As you type a search string, possible matches are shown in a Search Results box above. If you click on a result line, then the sidebar will automatically navigate to that item, expanding the visible data structure where necessary. You can also drag an item from the Search Results box into the drop area. This has the same effect as a normal drag from the sidebar, i.e. chemical shift lists or peak lists are opened as tables and spectra are opened in spectrum display modules. Dropping NmrAtoms and NmrResidues into spectrum display modules will create marks at their respective chemical shift positions, or if dropped onto peaks, the peaks will be assigned to the NmrAtoms/NmrResidues.

Search Strings and Examples

The search will look for any text matches and is case-insensitive. * can be used as a wildcard.

Note that every item of data in the sidebar is listed as a so-called Project ID, or PID for short. These PIDs contain a short code to signify the data type (e.g. SP for spectrum – see below for a full list) followed by the name of the data item. Nested items also contain the names of their parents/grandparents, separated by a . , e.g. a peak list is shown as PL:spectrumName.peakListName or an NmrAtom as NA:@3.23.THR.CA.

val
as a search string would any Valine NmrAtoms, NmrResidues, Atoms and Residues, while
nr*val
would show only Valine NmrResidues.

hsqc
might show you any spectra and their peak lists that contain the string hsqc, whereas
pl*hsqc
would restrict this to peak lists or
sp*hsqc
would restrict this to spectra.
