# 10. Start search container

Starting with version 19.05 which runs Ensembl release 93, it is necessary to start an additional container to run searches against the Ensembl database.

We anticipate adding functionality to search across additional GenomeHubs resources in future releases.

```
$ docker run -d \
             --name genomehubs-search \
             --network genomehubs-network \
             -p 8884:8080 \
             genomehubs/search:19.05
```

Optionally add a custom apache configuration file to override defaults

```
mkdir -p ~/genomehubs/v1/search/conf
nano ~/genomehubs/v1/search/conf/search.genomehubs.org.conf
```

\~/genomehubs/v1/search/conf/search.genomehubs.org.conf:

```

```

```
$ docker run -d \
             --name genomehubs-search \
             -v ~/genomehubs/v1/search/conf:/conf:ro \
             --network genomehubs-network \
             -p 8884:8080 \
             genomehubs/search:19.05
```

## Troubleshooting

* Earlier `19.05` container versions contained a search bug, if you are having trouble with search please pull the updated `easy-mirror` and `search` container images:
  * `docker pull genomehubs/easy-mirror:19.05`
  * `docker pull genomehubs/search:19.05`
* This container must be named `genomehubs-search` and be made available on the same docker network as the `genomehubs-ensembl` container for the search configuration to work.
