SciFinder enhancements - September 2024

This month’s CAS SciFinder® release features several enhancements to improve your search efforts, along with user interface improvements.

Search enhancements

We have implemented enhancements to your search experience when performing a few different types of queries:

• Substance search – Text search support has been expanded with new functional group and substance class search capabilities. This enables the discovery of substances by describing moieties contained and/or substances belonging to a class.
• Supplier search – Text searching for supplier information now supports searches using multiple substances, substance functional groups, and substance classes, resulting in broader discovery of supplier information with simpler searches.
• Reference search – You will now get personalized, relevant results based on your recent search trends boosted in your search results.

Interface enhancements

The supplier results and details pages have been improved. You will now experience a cleaner presentation that is easier to review.
