Name Searching<br />

To find all compounds in the CS_Demo Database<br />

with molecular names starting with “benz:”<br />

1. Switch to the Form View, if you are not already<br />

in it.<br />

The Form view appears.<br />

2. From the Search menu, choose Enter Query.<br />

TIP: Although the Tutorials describe the use of the<br />

Search menu, you may find using the Search toolbar<br />

more convenient. The icons on the toolbar match those<br />

you have already seen on the Search menu. Clicking the<br />

Find icon is equivalent to pressing the Enter key when<br />

you are ready to begin your search. See Chapter 23,<br />

“Searching” on page 317 for information on more<br />

advanced use of the Search toolbar.<br />

NOTE: Notice that this search gave you “benzene” but not<br />

“bromobenzene.” The query you entered above is an<br />

“anchored substring” and only gives you strings starting with<br />

the indicated substring. For more information on how to<br />

specify text searches, see “Text Searches” on page 317.<br />

Numerical Searching<br />

To search in the CS_Demo Database for<br />

compounds with molecular weights between 90<br />

and 100:<br />

1. Switch to the Form View, if you are not already<br />

in it.<br />

2. From the Search menu, choose Enter Query.<br />

The form is cleared so that you can enter a new<br />

query.<br />

3. Click the Molecular Weight box and type<br />

90-100.<br />

ChemFinder<br />

the molecular names are correct.<br />

4. Press the Enter key.<br />

between 90 and 100.<br />
