The advanced search…
To help you fine-tune your search
1. Boolean operators
2. Proximity operators
3. Field codes
4 .Stemming/wildcard/fuzzy searches
5. Grouping/nesting
6. Date searches
1. Boolean operators
Boolean operators
OR
AND
NOT
XOR
By default….
Boolean operator : OR
support OR stand
Documents containing either the word stand or support or
both
Search results
stand = 478,138
support = 2,017,752
stand OR support = 2, 272 ,482
The more terms or concepts we combine in a search with OR logic,
the more results we will retrieve.
Boolean operator : AND
solar AND panel
Documents containing both the words solar and panel
Boolean operator : NOT
mouse NOT computer
Documents containing only one the words, excluding the other
Boolean operator : XOR
organic XOR synthetic
Documents containing either the word organic or synthetic but
not both
Boolean operators: example
trunk AND cutting = over 11,000 results
2. Proximity operators: NEAR + "…"
" …."
"trunk cutting" = trunk NEAR1 cutting
NEAR
By default: 5 words between entered keywords
A NEAR B = B NEAR A
trunk NEAR8 cutting = "trunk cutting~8 "
2. Proximity operators: BEFORE
BEFORE
trunk BEFORE cutting
Boolean and proximity operators
3. Field codes
Basic fields: elements of a patent document
Derived fields
2 letter code = individual field
EN_TI
FR_AB
ES_DE_S
Convention: language specified by 2 letters
if not specified all languages
S = stemmed
: to separate term without any space
3. Field codes
FP = front page
ALL = all fields
ALL_TEXT/ALL_NAMES = all text/names
IC = IPC
DP = publication date
CTR = country either WO or country from nat collection
NPCC= national phase entry
AN = origin of PCT

3. Field codes examples
4. Stemming- wildcard
Stemming: process that removes common ending from
words by English Porter algorithm
electrical = electric
electricity = electric
electronics = electron
Wildcard
te?t = text or test
elec*ty
elect*
Fuzzy searches
Use of the tilde: ~
Examples:
roam~
Roam~0.8
foam / roams
5. Grouping/nesting
Solar OR (wind AND turbine)
(solar OR wind) AND turbine
EN_TI: electric car
electric is searched in English title
car is searched in all fields
EN_TI: (electric car)
both electric and car are searched in the English title
5. Grouping/nesting
Not all combinations work:
(electric AND car) NEAR power X
power NEAR (electric AND car) X
power NEAR (vehicle OR car)
EN_AB: hearing NEAR aid X
EN_AB: (hearing NEAR aid)
6. Date searches
Simple: based on year, month or day
DP: 01.02.2000
DP: 2003
Range: value are between the lower and upper bound
DP:[01.01.2000 TO 31.12.2000]
DP: [2000 TO 2010]
Example of an advanced search
EN_TI:((((windturbine OR ((eolic OR eolian OR aeolian OR wind OR
windmill) NEAR2 (turbine OR power OR generator))) NEAR500
(HAWT OR (horizontal NEAR2 (axle OR shaft OR axes OR axis))))
AND ((armature^5 OR rotator^5 OR rotor^20 OR helix^5 OR "helical
member"^5) OR (aerofoil^5 OR vane^5 OR fins^5 OR paddles^5 OR
airfoils^5 OR blade^5))) ) OR EN_AB:((((windturbine OR ((eolic OR
eolian OR aeolian OR wind OR windmill) NEAR2 (turbine OR power
OR generator))) NEAR500 (HAWT OR (horizontal NEAR2 (axle OR
shaft OR axes OR axis)))) AND ((armature^5 OR rotator^5 OR
rotor^20 OR helix^5 OR "helical member"^5) OR (aerofoil^5 OR
vane^5 OR fins^5 OR paddles^5 OR airfoils^5 OR blade^5))) ) OR
EN_CL:((((windturbine OR ((eolic OR eolian OR aeolian OR wind OR
windmill) NEAR2 (turbine OR power OR generator))) NEAR500
(HAWT OR (horizontal NEAR2 (axle OR shaft OR axes OR axis))))
AND ((armature^5 OR rotator^5 OR rotor^20 OR helix^5 OR "helical
member"^5) OR (aerofoil^5 OR vane^5 OR fins^5 OR paddles^5 OR
airfoils^5 OR blade^5))) ) OR IC:("F03D 1/06")
