| Query form |
The query form consists of four parameter group:
- Chemical parameter
- Physical parameter
- Study parameter
- Target/effect parameter
All parameters can be combined in any order. The programme demands to refine search parameters if more than 100 entries are found.
On the right side four buttons are arranged:
 - starts a new structure search in the entire database
 - starts a new tox-search in the entire database
 - resets search parameters
 - activate to run the query after search parameters have been changed

| Result table |
Once the query is done a result table is shown below the parameter template. The user is allowed to modify the result table by himself
by using the show options. It is possible to download the results as a PDF file. |
