GeneNetwork search functionality is used in the publication `Integrative Functional Genomics for Systems Genetics in GeneWeaver.org`. The authors present their webservice by searching for a "nociception" QTL in a region on chromosome 4 found in GN. They export the details and use it for further analysis in GeneWeaver\cite{bubier2016}.

+GN search is built on Xapian, an Open Source Search Engine Library, released under the GPL v2+. It's written in C++, with bindings to allow use from Python, Guile and other languages.
Xapian is actively maintained and current Xapian users include, for example, the Debian website and the notmuch E-mail indexer.
Xapian is a highly adaptable toolkit which allows developers to easily add advanced indexing and search facilities to their own applications. It has built-in support for several families of weighting models and also supports a rich set of boolean query operators\cite{Xapian}.
We build the Xapian index from SQL data and RDF data in the GN databases.
