Managing Queries<br />

ChemFinder 9 has a new tool to manage queries.<br />

The Queries Tree Control in the Explorer window<br />

maintains a list of search queries from the current<br />

and previous sessions. Queries are associated with<br />

forms, and the query list is saved when you save the<br />

form. When you open or activate an existing form,<br />

the tree updates to show only the queries for that<br />

form.<br />

Each time you carry out a search or list operation, a<br />

new query is generated in the tree. A name is<br />

assigned to the query, and it is displayed in the tree<br />

along with the size of the list (number of hits) and a<br />

brief description. The generated name is “Q*”,<br />

where n is a sequential number, and * indicates that<br />

the query has not been named or marked for saving.<br />

To restore a query:<br />

• Double-click a query.<br />

Database (Full List)<br />

Current list (marked with<br />

a frame)<br />

“Search Over Current List”<br />

query (child list)<br />

TIP: Double-clicking the root item, Full List, has the<br />

same effect as choosing Retrieve All from the Search<br />

menu.<br />

CAUTION<br />

Depending on your preference settings, unnamed queries<br />

may be automatically discarded. See “Saving and<br />

Restoring Lists” on page 336 for details.<br />

To activate the Queries tree control:<br />

1. Select Explorer Window from the View<br />

menu.<br />

2. Click the Queries tab to display the Queries<br />

tree.<br />

Queries are listed as “children” of the database<br />

(displayed as Full List). When you select Search<br />

Over Current List from the Search menu before<br />

performing a query, it is displayed as a “child” of<br />

the previous list. (The current list is indicated with<br />

a frame around the colored box.)<br />

The Queries context menu<br />

When you right-click on a query, you display a<br />

menu with commands to manage the query.<br />

if you want to...<br />

repeat the search using the<br />

selected query. (This is the same<br />

as double-clicking on the query.)<br />

merge the hits of the selected<br />

query with the current list. See<br />

“Restoring a Hit List” on page<br />

337 for details.<br />

apply the query's color to a plot<br />

of the intersection of the<br />

selected query with the current<br />

list. (This is the same a singleclick<br />

on the query.)<br />

then<br />

choose...<br />
