Distribution of rank >3 systems according to the various search algorithms that identified the candidate system. The “One Knot” search results are combined with the other “Blue Near Anything” searches. While each search produced many systems that were not identified by the others, the BNA search had the highest fraction, 74%, of uniquely identified systems.
