How to use search panel

The search panel will appear in the center of the screen after clicking on the magnifying glass. Here are the icon for the magnifying glass and the screenshot of search panel.

Search panel features

The graph below shows the annotations of the features in search panel and annotations are directed by the blue arrows.

User can use the search panel for either region selection or concept selection and user can use the toggle to switch between them. Under concept selection (as showed in the graph below), the list of concepts is organized alphabetically (A-Z) or hierarchically and user can use the tab to switch between the two organizing methods.

Next to each concept, there is an plus/minus icon which user can click to expand/collapse the indicator list for that concept. The selected indicator, organizing method, and the focus of selection are highlighted in teal. Search bar at top can be use to narrow down the list of concept and indicator by limiting to the concepts and indicators contain the input characters. Although region selection is explained here, similar features can be found for region selection.
