-<p><strong>Search</strong></p>
-<p>The search box is displayed by pressing Control and F or
- selecting "Find..." from the "Search" menu.</p>
-<img src="search.gif" width="339" height="110">
-<p>"Find next" will find the next occurence of the specified and adjust
- the alignment window view to show it, and "Find all" highlights all
- matches for a pattern. The "New Feature" is a quick way to highlight
- and group residues matching the specified search pattern throughout the alignment.
-<ul>
- <li>The search uses regular expressions. (understands a mixture of posix and
- perl style regex - see below for a summary)</li>
- <li>Gaps are ignored when matching the query to the sequences in the alignment.</li>
- <li>The search is applied to both sequences and their IDs.</li>
- <li>If a region is selected, then search will <strong>only</strong> be performed
- on that region. </li>
- <li>To quickly clear the current selection, press the "Escape" key.</li>
- <li>Tick the "Match Case" box to perform a case sensitive search.</li>
-</ul>
-<p><strong>Creating Features from Search Results</strong></p>
-<p>
- If "New Feature" is selected, the feature can be given a name from
- a popup input box. Use the "Feature Settings" under the "View"
- menu to change the visibility and colour of the new sequence feature.</p>
-<p><strong>A quick Regular Expression Guide</strong></p>
-<p>A regular expression is not just a simple text query - although it
-can be used like one, the query is not parsed literally, but
-interpreted like a series of instructions defining the features of the
-match. For example, a simple query like "ACDED" would
-match all occurences of that string, but "ACD+ED" matches
-both 'ACDDED' and 'ACDDDDDDDDED'. More usefully, the query
-"[ILGVMA]{;5,}" would find stretches of small,
-hydrophobic amino acids of at least five residues in length.
-</p>
-<p> The table
-below describes some of the regular expression syntax:<br></p>
-<table width="100%" border="1">
- <tr>
- <td width="24%">Regular Expression Element</td>
- <td width="76%">Effect</td>
- </tr>
- <tr>
- <td width="24%">.</td>
- <td width="76%">Matches any single character</td>
- </tr>
