Searching for data in CLC Locations
There are two ways of searching for data in your CLC Locations:
- Quick Search Available above the Navigation Area and described in Quick Search. By default, terms entered are used to search for the names of data elements and folders across all available CLC Locations.
- Local Search Available under the Utilities menu and described in Local Search. All CLC Locations can be searched, or an individual Location can be searched. Local searches can be saved, so that the same search can be run again easily.
Re-indexing CLC Locations
The CLC Genomics Workbench automatically indexes data added to a CLC Data Location using CLC software tools. These indexes are used when searching in the Navigation Area, to fetch the relevant data elements when launching an analysis and for resolving associations between data elements and CLC Metadata Tables. When problems with any of these are experienced, it may be resolved by re-indexing that CLC Location.
To re-index, right-click on the relevant CLC Location in the Navigation Area and then, from the menu that appears, select the option:
Location | Rebuild Index
Rebuilding the index for locations with a lot of data can take some time.
The index building process can be stopped under the Process Area.
Indexes are updated automatically when data is moved between CLC Locations, but not when data elements are moved within a given CLC Location. When searching based on names, this does not matter. However, for searches based on information in the path, the index may need to be rebuilt before searching.
