Hello Yury, Great idea! Active development has been started to implement this functionality and we expect for it to be ready on galaxy-central (test server) within the month and published to galaxy-dist shortly thereafter. We really appreciate your sharing a use case along with the request. When the new functionality comes out and you have a chance to give it a try, we would be interested in any feedback that you may have. Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 9/21/10 2:27 PM, Yury Bukhman wrote:
Hi,
I would like to annotate my data sets and enable users to search on these annotations. For example, suppose I have datasets from different microbial species and strains, grown on different media under different conditions. I can attach templates to all of my data that would have fields for species, strain, growth medium and treatment. Suppose now I want to look at all of the data from S.cerevisae, strain ABC, grown on a medium XYZ, under heat stress. How do I do that? I have looked around my Galaxy instance and on the Wiki, but I could not figure out how to search on template fields.
Thanks.
Yury
