This is a self-contained structure indexer that uses Lucene as the underlying storage and indexing engine. The indexing architecture is based on an inverted indexing technique developed within NCATS. Please consult the wiki (coming soon) for additional details.

If you're building for the first time, you'll need to add the jchem.jar
to your local maven repository. To do this, execute the following
command:
mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=lib/jchem.jar \
-DgroupId=chemaxon \
-DartifactId=jchem \
-Dversion=3.2.12 \
-Dpackaging=jar \
-DgeneratePom=true
Then simply do mvn package to build the structure-indexer
jar file. The bin directory contains the following wrapper scripts:
indexer is the main driver that is used to build the index.
See indexer -h for complete usage. Here is an running example:
indexer index_dir BindingDB2D.sdf
searcher is the client driver that provides a command-line interface
for searching and filtering. See searcher -h for complete usage. For
example, consider the following command:
searcher -fsmiles -F_natoms=20:22 -F_molwt=280.:300. -F_source=BindingDB2D -s sim -t.9 idx "N1c2ccccc2NC(=O)c2cccnc12"
This example performs similarity searching against the index idx
for the given structure with a Tanimoto cutoff of 0.9, number of atoms
in the range [20,22], molecular weight in the range [280, 300],
only from the source BindingDB2D, and outputs the matches as SMILES
format.
