I think I found the solution by myself: from rdkit.Chem.Pharm2D import Gobbi_Pharm2D fds=Gobbi_Pharm2D.factory.featFactory.GetFeatureDefs()
followed by fds['COO'] = 'C(=O)O' COOPattern = Chem.MolFromSmarts(fds['COO']) and now I can search for carboxylic groups as well. the interested reaeder might be interested why Gobbi_Pharm2D is being used at all - because the new SMARTS is rather simple. This is due to the fact I just wanted to give a simple example.
