Has anyone come up with searching a chemicals based database using
mols or smilies?

Has anyone come up with searching a chemicals based database using
mols or smilies?

Huh?

What do you mean by "mols" - molar weights?

And why would anyone search for anything to do with chemicals based on
smilies? How would ":-)" or symbols like that help? is this some other
sense of the word "smilies" than the customary Internet one?

yup i mean, probably ;)

mili is a miligram or mililitre. smili is a "secular milli"(gram/litre).
It's a very old but still fashion way of counting one thousandth of
something.

Some scientist of the new millennium have been using the current
milli(gram/litre) in favor of the old (secular) one because it's yellow
and have the words "Don't Panic" on it's cover but the secular one is
more accurate and slightly lighter.

cheers,
