Description

Stephen Klippenstein suggests an ability to search (thermo and kinetics) by chemical formula (stoichiometry) instead of SMILES. A lot of people would find this helpful.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing thermo and kinetics search entry points and tracing how they currently accept SMILES. Clarify how formula-based stoichiometry matching should behave, then identify the relevant tests; done means both search areas support chemical formula queries with verified results.
