Yes, but ... this depends on how the embl database is defined at your site.

Some sites have databases defined to access entries through, for example, a 
URL or an external application (or script) that can only search for entry names.

Hmmmm .... we could add a little more information on this in showdb .... for a 
future release.

If you have difficulty finding out how the database is defined, mail us at 
emboss-bug at emboss.open-bio.org and we can help you track it down.
