> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/umls-code-systems/searching-and-browsing.md). # Searching and Browsing The UMLS code systems are displayed in the single view, where each code system is grouped under a top-level node that represents the code system itself. The code system concepts are organized in their respective hierarchies and are represented by their native ID, term, and their unique UMLS atomic ID. UMLS codes are not editable within Snow Owl. UMLS concepts can be searched via Snow Owl’s Advance Search feature or using the **Quick Search Widget** located in the main toolbar. UMLS codes can be assigned to Value Sets, Mapping Sets, or as target concepts in Map type SNOMED CT Reference Sets. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.b2ihealthcare.com/snow-owl-authoring-platform/umls-code-systems/searching-and-browsing.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
