or take this beauty :)
2,2-dimethylpropanoyloxymethyl (5R)-3-[[(2-amino-2-oxo-ethyl)-methyl-amino]methyl]-6-[(1R)-1-hydroxyethyl]-7-oxo-4-thia-1-azabicyclo [3.2.0]hept-2-ene-2-carboxylate
interestingly, searching this in Google Scholar does not show which article this name is from. Neither does searching for the InChIKey.
So, is this just an incomplete name from that article? Are we not yet indexing all chemistry that well yet?

@egonw@social.edu.nl Indexing is quite an interesting question! Current web is rarely in plain HTML, so everything gets convoluted, and what we see may differ from what is indexed. For the IUPAC name above it seems the issue is in the italicized stereochemical descriptors (R, S, Z, E, etc). Searching for exact name gives no results, probably because the letters in italics have been indexed with invisible characters. However, if we replace the stereodescriptors with asterisks, one related article is found.
