## PubChem Similarity (Fingerprint) SMILES Search

### Description

Accepts one SMILES string (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry Specification) and performs a >0.95 similarity PubChem fingerprint search, returning the hits in an `SDFset` container. The ChemMine Tools web service is used as an intermediate, to translate queries from plain HTTP POST to a PubChem Power User Gateway (PUG) query.

### Usage

    searchString(smiles)

### Arguments

`smiles` | A `character` object which contains one SMILES string

### Value

`SDFset` | for details see ?"SDFset-class"
