+This tool will Query a set of identifications against the METabolomics EXPlorer database.
+
+It will take the input file and for each record it will query the 
+molecular mass in the selected MetExp DB. If one or more compounds are found in the
+MetExp DB then extra information regarding these compounds is added to the output file.
+
+The output file is thus the input file enriched with information about 
+related items found in the selected MetExp DB.  
+
+**Notes**
+
+The input file can be any tabular file, as long as it contains a column for the molecular mass
+and one for the formula of the respective identification.
