Note that for all the functions above except the first ("Goto Base"), if the
"Start search at beginning" option is set or if there is nothing selected the

qualifier values that contain the given characters. For example searching for
the genename CDC will find CDC1, CDC2, ABCDC etc. If the toggle is off &prog;
