|  | The Genome Browser's File Search feature allows users to find
                              downloadable ENCODE files of interest quickly and easily. 
                              Searching 
                              Downloadable ENCODE files can be found by entering terms of interest
                              in the free-text Track Name and Description fields, by selecting the
                              appropriate Group or Data Format from the drop-down menus, and/or by
                              using the "ENCODE terms" drop-down filters.
                               
                              ENCODE terms: The filters in this section allow users to
                              search (or refine their search) for files based on the metadata
                              associated with the ENCODE downloadable files. By default, there are
                              two rows of ENCODE metadata search criteria, but more can be added by
                              clicking the "+" button. To remove an added metadata search row, click
                              the "-" button. Each row is comprised of two menus. The first is a
                              drop-down menu that contains the searchable metadata categories.
                              Please note that because the metadata categories are assembly
                              dependent, the options may vary from assembly to assembly. Some
                              metadata categories have a link on the far right of the row that
                              provides more information about that category.
                              The second menu is usually a multi-select drop-down menu containing
                              the the metadata terms available for the category selected (in the
                              first drop-down). The default is usually set to "Any." Clicking on
                              "Any" opens up the multi-select drop-down with the possible options.
                              Multiple options can be selected by clicking multiple check-boxes.
                              For a few of the metadata categories in the first drop-down menu, the
                              second menu is a free-text field in which the desired term must be
                              entered.
                               
                              Results 
                              After clicking the "Search" button, the files that meet the search
                              criteria (up to a maximum of 1000 files) are displayed in a table;
                              each row of the table represents a file meeting the critera that was
                              set. If the displayed search results have been limited to the first
                              1000 files, a message stating so will be displayed above the results.
                               
                              Results Header:
                              The first column of the header contains the number of files found (up
                              to a maximum of 1000 files) and the subsequent colums contain a title
                              for the information displayed in that column.
                              The list of files can be sorted by clicking on the header of the
                              column. The files can be sorted on up to 5 attributes.
                              Files:
                              Click the "Download" button to download a file. Click the
                               to go to the downloads page to
                              view that file and all other files associated with the track. |  |
