The search is case-insensitive and finds all records that contain all search terms in at least one of the searchable database fields. The word 'or' starts a series of conditions of which one must be fulfilled. The word 'and' switches back to 'anded' conditions. The word 'not' negates everything until the next 'or', 'and' or the next search term.

You may search a specific field by first specifiying the field name with a trailing slash (for instance "/formula") followed by the search item. The field name can be shortened as long as it is not ambiguous.

To include only records of which the value of a specified field is equal or larger than a certain limit, prepend the limit with a '>' like in '/LowPH >5'. If the entry of a field shall be equal or smaller than a certain limit prepend the value by a '<' like in '/HighPH <6'. To find all conditions, where the concentration of ammonium sulfate is between 1 M and 1.5 M, submit '/compound am-sulfate /conc >1 /conc < 1.5'.

If a search item shall contain white spaces it must be surrounded by single quotes " ' ". The search term '\' allows searches for empty fields.
