General Searches in the DTP WWW Databases are entered via a WWW form. Any number of queries can be entered, with spaces and carriage returns used to delimit the individual queries. The results will be presented as a list of pointers to particular NSC's. This search type looks at strings and tries to match them in the list of chemical names. All searches are case insensitive.
All characters are matched, there are no characters with special meanings like wildcard characters.
This search type converts each query to a number and tries to match it with the NSC numbers in the given database. Prefixes or check digits should not be entered.
