When you draw a molecule in tab 1, the list of molecules will automatically update according to your search. The search mode can be set on substructure, exact structure or similarity search, depending on what your are looking for. You can also apply filter on the article name.
The information tab and the wikipedia article shown correspond to the chemical structure that you drew. To get information about another molecule in the list, simply click on it.
While the structure search is done confidentially in your browser when you click on a molecule, a query is done on the Wikipedia server to retrieve the corresponding article.
By clicking on View in wikipedia, you will be directly redirected to the Wikipedia article of the displayed molecule.
