Structure searches without a database

Is it possible to do structure searching (making full use of fingerprints etc.) but without the need for a DB table.

I need to quickly create a set of structures for rapid searching and to be able to add new stuctures to the list being searched, but have no need to persist the structures in a database. All data can reside in memory.

Thanks

Tim

Hi Tim,

JChem does not have a direct API for this, but I think that some of the underlying relational databases support this. See, for example:
