Chmoogle Search Engine Integrates ChemSketch

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. (ACD/Labs), has integrated both its commercial and freeware ChemSketch application to the Chmoogle® Web site <www.chmoogle.com> created by eMolecules, Inc. Chmoogle is the world’s leading open-access chemistry search engine. Its mission is to discover, curate, and index all of the public chemical information in the world and make it available to the public for free. Chmoogle distinguishes itself with extremely fast searches, an appealing presentation of results, high-quality chemical drawings, and powerful advanced search capabilities such as persistent hit lists and hit list logic operations. ACD/Labs has integrated Chmoogle into the commercial ChemSketch software and freeware. This integration gives ChemSketch users direct access to Chmoogle’s structure and substructure searches.

Antony Williams, vice president and chief science officer for ACD/Labs, notes that “the mission of Chmoogle—to discover, curate, and index all public chemical information in the world and make it available for free—is a worthy mission. ACD/Labs’ intention to provide a chemical structure drawing package to every chemist in the world at no charge via our freeware ChemSketch downloads is just as worthy. We are happy to provide an integrated solution between ChemSketch and Chmoogle to allow users to sketch molecules at their desktop and view their results via a Web browser. It is our hope that sketching and Chmoogling will deliver value to chemists around the world.”

Chmoogle is created by continuously indexing all of the public chemical information in the world. Chmoogle is attracting a large amount of the chemistry-related Internet traffic by industrial and academic decision-makers.
