Move To Option

  1. Enter a source title (repository name) or the first few characters of a title in the Move To text field. The product automatically adds a wildcard to your search query.

  2. Click the Move To button to go to a list of source items that begin with the characters that you entered. For example, if you enter gene* as the search term, the product finds every item in the index that begins with this word such as Gene Expression Omnibus.

  3. Click the Add button to select a repository title from the list. The selected title is added to the text box at the bottom of the page.

  4. Click OK to transfer the selected title(s) to the Source field on the Search page.

    If you are performing an Advanced Search, the product transfers the selected title(s) to the field box along with the correct field tag. For example: SO=(GENE EXPRESSION OMNIBUS).

  3. Click the Add button to select a title from the list. The selected title is added to the text box at the bottom of the page.

  4. Click OK to transfer the selected title(s) to the Source field on the Search page.
