The current library directories for both search libraries and QC libraries are listed
in the Library Directories list box. (Scroll bars are provided when needed to scroll
directories into view.)
All of the search libraries and search library groups in these directories are listed
in alphabetical order in the Available Search Libraries And Groups box. If the
libraries or groups you want to use are not listed, you can use the Add Directory
button to add the directories that contain them. You can use the Remove Directory
button to remove a directory from the list (this does not remove the libraries from
the disk).
Note
You can’t remove the last directory from the list; at least one directory must remain. ▲
The libraries and groups selected for searching are listed in the Search Libraries
And Groups box. You can use the Add button to add the selected libraries or
groups to this “search list” or the Remove button to remove them. Keep in mind
that the more libraries and groups you include, the longer it will take to complete
the search.
Note
You can add or remove more than one library or group at a time by holding down
the Control key when selecting the libraries or groups. ▲
When you select a group in the Available Search Libraries And Groups box, the
libraries contained in the group are listed in the View Selected Group Contents
box. (Scroll bars are provided when needed to scroll libraries into view.)
You can use the Save Search List As Group button to create a group containing all
the libraries and groups in the search list in the Search Libraries And Groups box.
You should normally group libraries only if they are similar or if you will
frequently want to search them at the same time.
You can use the Delete Group button to remove the selected group from the list of
available libraries and groups. The libraries remain on the hard disk but are no
longer linked as a group.
To see a list of the compounds contained in a library, use Library Manager in the
Analyze menu (see “Working with libraries” for details). To specify different
default directories, use Options in the Edit menu (see “Specifying directories” in
the “Edit” chapter for details).
