Combine or Negate

Group or separate items in your dataset


You can also combine searches. Unlike our legacy search, in annotation search, Filter and Rank is a list of Annotation objects. Filtered annotations will be ANDed.

When you combine both Filter and Rank, filter will be applied before ranking annotations. This is important because limiting the result set on large applications can speedup the overall query drastically when doing a ranking.

The initialization code used in the following example is outlined in detail on the client installation page.

# In this section, we set the user authentication, app ID, and the concepts we
# we want to search by. Change these strings to run your own example.

USER_ID = 'YOUR_USER_ID_HERE'
# Your PAT (Personal Access Token) can be found in the Account's Security section
PAT = 'YOUR_PAT_HERE'
APP_ID = 'YOUR_APP_ID_HERE'
# Change these to search by your own concepts
CONCEPT_ID_1 = 'cat'
CONCEPT_ID_2 = 'dog'
