Search for bait groups

A bait group search returns bait groups that satisfy the search criteria that you enter. Each criterion can take a single value, and a search string that you enter can represent all or part of the term. For example, if you enter genome as a name to be searched, the search returns, potentially, bait groups with names like Human genome, Rat genome, genome Q55, etc. Bait group searches are not case-sensitive.

Click Search.

eArray performs the requested bait group search. A search results pane lists the bait groups that match your search criteria. To navigate the search results, use the following as a guide:

- You can limit the list of bait groups to those with a particular status. In Status, select the desired status, then click Filter.
- To sort the results based on the contents of a particular column, click any column heading in the search results except Actions. To reverse the order of the items, click the same column heading again.
- To go to another page of search results, click one of the Pages links above and below the list of returned bait groups.

From the search results pane, depending on the status and ownership of the bait group(s), you can take action on the retrieved bait groups. In general, you click a link in the Actions column of the search results; or, you mark the check boxes next to the desired bait groups, then click one of the buttons above or below the list of bait groups.
