Cool! Thank you very much for implementing it.

Yeah, consistency is fine.

I wonder if it makes sense to try being consistent with the usual
operators where semantic is the same; for instance, you search for an
exact string with "SELECT * FROM table WHERE column='string';" so I'd
be tempted to use the same "SELECT * FROM table WHERE mol='smiles';"
on molecular DBs. Likewise, searching for a substructure looks close
to the "LIKE" statement.

What do you think?
