Search, Taxonomy, and Using Drag and Drop

Search Terms

In many cases you will want to search for one or more concepts for the purposes of editing or reference. The search tab allows you to search SNOMED by typing text in the search field. After pressed Enter key, it will lists all concepts that match your query. The search tab contains a number of features:

• View search results by matching terms or grouped by concept

• Distinguish between primitive and fully defined concepts in a set of search results

• Distinguish between active and inactive concepts in a set of search results

• View more details about a concept in a set of search results

• Add concepts from a set of search results to a saved list for future use

• You can use wildcards in the search term to find partial matches. Asterisk ( * ) matches all subsequent characters regardless of word length. Question mark ( ? ) matches a single character. For example:

punc* would find all words stemmed with "punc" eg punch, punched, punctum, puncture etc punc? would find punch punc??? would find punched and punctum punc?u? would find punctum but not punched
