This RFC proposes a new Cytoscape Quick Find feature. The goal of the feature is to enable Cytoscape users to quickly find nodes, and select them in the network view. The feature will be based loosely on [http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en Google Suggest]. In Google Suggest, a user types a few characters, and Google automatically provides matching search terms which begin with these characters. In the same vein, a Cytoscape users will type a few characters, and Cytoscape will automatically provide matching nodes which begin with these characters. |
