In this document the search options concerning query features are summarized and their usage is shown in different search interfaces.
Exact query atom matching
Sets whether exact query atom matching should be used or not. If true, query information (eg. atom list, any atom, number of hydrogens, aromaticity, etc.) in atoms will not be evaluated, but rather exact matching of these information is required. It is useful for searching in query databases. Default value is false

JChem Oracle Cartridge
Use the jc_compare operator with HCountMatching:G/E/A, where
-
G:(greater or equal, mdl behavior) target atom must have H-s greater or equal to query H-s, in excess of explicit H-s. H0 means no extra H other than explicitly drawn.
-
E:(equal, daylight behavior) target atom mus have H-s equal to H count number.
-
A:automatically determine whether G or E should be used, from the query source. (smiles and smarts source: E, all other: G).
Example:
SELECT count(*) FROM nci_150k WHERE jc_compare(structure, 'Brc1ccccc1', 't:s HCountMatching:A') = 1;
jcsearch command line tool
Use the following command line parameter:
--HCountMatching:G/E/A
-
G:(greater or equal, mdl behavior) target atom must have H-s greater or equal to query H-s, in excess of explicit H-s. H0 means no extra H other than explicitly drawn.
-
E:(equal, daylight behavior) target atom mus have H-s equal to H count number.

JChem Oracle CartridgeUse the jc_compare operator with implicitHMatching:d/y/n/i, where
-
d: default: its value is y in almost every cases. There is only one exception: its value is n in case of duplicate search against a query table in a database.
-
y: Implicit and explicit hydrogens can match.
-
n: Implicit and explicit hydrogens cannot match.
-
i: Implicit and explicit hydrogens are ignored.
jcsearch command line tool
Use the following command line parameter:
--implicitHMatching:d/y/n/i
-
d: default: its value is y in almost every cases. There is only one exception: its value is n in case of duplicate search against a query table in a database.
-
y: Implicit and explicit hydrogens can match.
-
n: Implicit and explicit hydrogens cannot match.
-
i: Implicit and explicit hydrogens are ignored.

Undefined R-atom matching
Sets the matching behavior of an undefined R atom in the query. Examples of group matching of undefined R-atoms are presented here .
R-group queries of Markush targets are not supported with undefinedRAtom:g/gh/ghe options when query structures contain undefined R-atom(s).
They are supported only with undefinedRAtom:a and undefinedRAtom:u options.
-
g (default): undefined R-atom matches a group of one or more connected atoms in target, including at least one heavy atom;
-
gh: undefined R-atom matches a group of one or more connected atoms in target, which can also be a single H atom;
-
ghe: undefined R-atom matches a group of one or more connected atoms in target, which can also be a single H atom or
the empty set (empty set match is allowed for isolated or one-attachment R-atoms only);
-
a: undefined R-atom matches any single atom in target;
-
u: undefined R-atom matches only an undefined R atom in target.
