Use the jc_compare operator with tautomerSearch:d/y/n/is

    d: (default) behavior is defined by the search context: tautomer search is turned on for duplicate searches in a tautomer duplicate database table; it is turned off in all other contexts
    y: on;
    n: off;
    is: ignore tautomer stereo (tautomer search is turned on but stereo information is ignored in the tautomer regions).
