Usage

searchPlatform(x = "", platforms = predefined_platforms, contain_all = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a string or character vector to search for. input a character vector if searching for multiple terms. if empty, will return all available organisms.

platforms

pre-defined platform information character variable.

contain_all

if TRUE, results contain all search terms will be returned. if FALSE, results contain any of the given term will be returned.

Value

character or dataframe of search result
