 ===== When to use =====
-[[https://mcule.com/search|Find Chemicals]] can be used to find specific compounds/chemicals or close analogs of a single compound and purchase them by just a few clicks.

+[[https://mcule.com/search/|Find Chemicals]] has two interfaces: [[https://mcule.com/search/|Single]] and [[https://mcule.com/search/multi/|Multiple]].
 === Find Chemicals - Single ===
-This interface was designed to quickly search the [[purchasable|Purchasable compounds collection]] of the mcule database.
 The query molecule can be specified by the [[sketcher|Drawer]] or by entering mcule IDs, [[http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/doc/theory/theory.smiles.html|SMILES]] strings or [[http://www.inchi-trust.org/inchi|InChIs]].
 The following search types are available:
 **[[similaritysearch|Similarity searching]]** can be used to retrieve close analogs of a query molecule (e.g. an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-throughput_screening|HTS]] hit).

 **[[exactsearch|Exact searching]]** can be used to find a specific compound (e.g. a reference ligand).
-==== Results ====
+=== Find Chemicals - Multiple ===
+This interface runs [[exactsearch|exact searches]] with multiple query molecules.
+It can be very useful for ordering a set of ligands in one step. Virtual screening hit lists with mcule IDs, [[http://www.inchi-trust.org/inchi|InChI]] or [[http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/doc/theory/theory.smiles.html|SMILES]] strings and even SDF files can be pasted or uploaded and used as the query of the search.
+Note that different query types might store different level of information about your query molecules. Searching for mcule IDs is the most straightforward and effective way to retrieve a set of molecules from the mcule database. For example, if you have downloaded the [[purchasable|Purchasable compounds collection]] of the mcule database from [[https://mcule.com/database/|here]], and you want to come back for [[delivery|purchasing some compounds]], it is suggested that you paste mcule IDs instead of SDF entries here. Note that mcule IDs are always included in exported SDF as a separate SDF field.
