[ghemical-users] Conformer Generation in ghemical

Hello,

the search tools at the moment are just for searching the conformer with 
smallest energy ; the found minimum energy conformation is saved and there 
is no other type of analysis done.

The code is at search.cpp file in libghemical. Right now I have no time 
myself to improve these search tools.

Regards,

 	Tommi
