Parametric Retrieval in GC/MS MassHunter

We used to use Chemstation for GC/MS Data Analysis, in which we can get into the Parametric Retrieval and search in library for the spectrum of a known compound ether via formula, CAS, or name etc...
Now in MassHunter, I can not find the tool. Anyone know how to get that ?

Thanks for any help.

No MassHunter nor ChemStation is neccessary for your tasks. Simply open your NIST Library (or what you have) and choose Search command.

Thanks for replying so soon,
As you said, it seems simple. But how can I open the NIST Library outside Chemstation or MassHunter, I mean on Microsoft Windows7 ?

Windows 7

Start>All programs>NIST Mass Spectral Database>MS Search v.2.2

and when MS Search is opened you may search by whatever you want (almost ;-)
