We present an update of the EBI Search engine, an easy-to-use fast text search and indexing system with powerful data navigation and retrieval capabilities. The interconnectivity that exists between data resources at EMBL-EBI provides easy, quick and precise navigation and a better understanding of the relationship between different data types that include nucleotide and protein sequences, genes, gene products, proteins, protein domains, protein families, enzymes and macromolecular structures, as well as the life science literature. EBI Search provides a powerful RESTful API that enables its integration into third-party portals, thus providing 'Search as a Service' capabilities, which are the main topic of this article.
我们展示了 EBI Search 引擎的更新版本,这是一个易于使用的快速文本搜索和索引系统,具有强大的数据导航和检索功能。EMBL-EBI 中的数据资源之间的互联性提供了轻松、快速和精确的导航,并更好地理解了不同数据类型之间的关系,这些数据类型包括核苷酸和蛋白质序列、基因、基因产物、蛋白质、蛋白质结构域、蛋白质家族、酶和大分子结构,以及生命科学文献。EBI Search 提供了一个强大的 RESTful API,使其能够集成到第三方门户中,从而提供“搜索即服务”功能,这是本文的主要主题。
