All,
With an increase in Web navigation by specialized search (Google Omnibox,
MSIE 9 Unibox or whatever MS calls it, and Firefox search engine box), it
occurred to me that a Jmol searchable (and browser search engine addable)
bookmark might be useful. We put one together, but decided that an all
HTML/JavaScript search interface page would be a better route for our
needs. Our Jmol link is on this pure HTML/JavaScript interface page.
We named our searchable bookmark page AKA, and it has these features:
1) It is browser search engine addable in FF and MSIE 9 with ease from the
interface page. It is addable in Chrome if users understand Chrome's
Omnibox approach. Safari is another story entirely! Work arounds are
required to add it as a search engine.
2) When a compound name (or SMILES) is entered in the search box or Omnibox
on the browser, the AKA interface page loads with the 2D structure of the
compound (from Resolver) and the formula of the compound (from Resolver).
3) The page is set to do several things with this information:
A) Load the Jmol Model - of course!
B) Perform stoichiometric calculations based on the formula.
C) Perform 5 compound-specific Google searches based on Resolver
returned identifiers.
D) Search new compounds from the AKA interface page, including drawing
search targets with JSDraw, an all HTML/Javascript editor.
E) Get the SMILES, InChI, and InChIKey Identifiers.
F) Provide url's for emailing 2D structures and 3D models.
Although we decided to go this route to provide a tool for Java and
non-Java browsers, there may be interest in the Jmol community for having a
Jmol specific "search engine" that is designed to go directly to a Jmol
page. Our efforts with AKA are at:
