# Insert a SMILES, SMARTS, MOL, or Name Entry
In addition to manually sketching a structure, SureChEMBL provides an alternative way to begin a chemistry search.
* Using your preferred drawing tool, create and copy the structure on which to search.\
\&#xNAN;*You may also copy a SMILES, SMARTS, MOL file, CML, or chemical name.*
* On the SureChEMBL landing page, click on the the button "BY STRUCTURE" to open **MarvinJS sketcher**.
* Assuming you already have the structure in your system clipboard, use the **Paste** shortcut (ctrl+V or cmd+V).
* Alternatively, click on the **Folder** icon of the sketcher (second from the top left) and paste it in the **Import** **window**.
* The structure will appear in the drawing pane.
