E.g. having benzoic acid [MolWeight (structure)=122.1213)] registered as three lots and versions: benzoic acid with 3xHCl, isotopic (1-13C)benzoic acid and benzoate 1xNa+, if we search for MF=C7H6O2, only the first version: benzoic acid with 3xHCl will be returned as result (salt info is not considered). See figure Search 10 .

Following the above example, if we initiate a substructure search using benzaldehyde as structure and the MolWeight (structure) > 121, all three lots (from different versions) are returned as search results ( figure Search 11 ). But, if using MolWeight (structure) > 122, only the first two versions are returned as results, since benzoate has an only 121.1134 for MolWeight (structure) and the salt (Na+ with multiplicity 1) is not considered. If a MolWeight (structure + salt/solvate) > 122 is initiated, again all three lots (from different versions) are returned as search results.
