CHAPTER 11: DRUG IDENTIFICATION TOOL
Pattern
The default selection looks for all patterns, but you can select a specific pattern
from any shown in the drop-down list.
If you do not wish to see the full-color images with your results, remove the
checkbox selection from Show Images with Results.
Tip: Searching by physical characteristics (by Description) uses the Boolean
‘OR’ operator. This means that a substance that matches any checkbox
will be considered a match.
To illustrate this, a search selecting Color = Pink; Color = Red, means the search would look for
any items that were:
Color = Pink; OR
Color = Red; OR
Color = Pink and Red
Tip: There may be occasions where a match cannot be found in the Images
database, but exists in the Imprints database. If an imprint can be used, return to
the imprint search by clicking the Click here to search by Imprint Code link.
If you have typed the wrong information or selected parameters in error and wish to begin
again, click the Clear button to remove all selections and characteristics and start over.
