Schematic example illustrating principles of CSE matching criteria. The length of the CSE in the annotation being currently considered (the query) is 10 symbols/residues. It partially overlaps with two CSEs - the match candidates - in the subject annotation: with a 12-symbol long CSE by 5 symbols; and a 4-symbol long CSE by 3 symbols. In all four scenarios, both match candidates are evaluated to determine, if the current CSE has a match or not. In the first three scenarios (current, longest, shortest), they are tested separately, while they are treated cumulatively, if patched is selected. If at least one test succeeds, the current CSE has a match, otherwise - not. For example, if the user sets a length threshold of 60%, the current CSE has no match when selecting current or longest, but has a match if shortest or patched is chosen
