Bond specific search options

In this document the search options concerning bonds are summarized and their usage is shown in different search interfaces.

• Exact bond matching

• Vague bond search levels

  #### Exact bond matching Specifies whether bond types should match exactly. If set to true, bond types must match exactly. For example "single or double" matches only "single or double", but matches neither "single" nor "double". Default value is falseor n in case of all search types except duplicate search.

  #### Vague bond search levels This option gives the opportunity of less strict evaluation of query bonds. See the details of vague bond search here.
