Query mode syntax

Amplified supports traditional boolean logic alongside AI searching. To get access this feature, please contact your account manager or email us at support@amplified.ai.

Query mode operators

Proximity operators support up to 99 words (i.e. W99).

Multi-word phrases such as "metal oxide" must be wrapped in quotation marks.

Wildcards in Amplified are fully supported but not needed as much as traditional databases. This is because Amplified automatically handles truncation, plurals, and basic word variations. However Amplified cannot do this when wildcards are used. So wildcards should be used sparingly.

Syntax guide

Name Description Example Type Comment
Boolean operators Basic boolean search operators AND OR NOT Search logic
Advanced text operators Wildcards and proximity searching for text searching W5 * ? Search logic Use * for multi-character wildcards Use ? for single-character wildcards For proximity search use W with the number of words ex. W5 Note: for non-roman alphabets like Japanese, Korean, and Chinese the proximity operator will look within N characters rather than words
Nested queries Nesting fields and logic for complex queries TAC=(rocket AND engine AND (nitrogen OR hydrogen)) Search logic Be careful with overly complex nesting though as it can become difficult to follow and read
T=() Title T=(rocket) Text Text will search against fields in the Project's language. To search in specific languages you can append the ISO 2-digit language code to the command.
A=() Abstract A=(rocket AND engine) Text For example, to search TAC in Japanese you would write TAC_JA and to search in Chinese you would write TAC_ZH.
C=() Claims C=(fuel W3 thrust) Text
D=() Description D=(light* OR hyperspace) Text
TACD=() Full text TACD=(rocket OR engine) Text
TAC=() Title or abstract or claims TAC=(fuel OR thrust*) Text
IPC=() IPC code IPC=(A61F2/00) Class Codes before / such as A61 or A61F2 will automatically include all children. Codes after / such as A61F2/00 will only return exact matches. Append +all to include children ex. A61F2/00+all.
CPC=() CPC code CPC=(A61F2/00 OR B62J1/00) Class
GRANT=() GRANT=(yes) Legal status
ALIVE=() ALIVE=(yes) Legal status
EPRD=() Earliest priority date in family EPRD=20120501:20201231 or EPRD=2012:2024 Date Use : to specify a date range and write dates in the format of YYYYMMDD, YYYYMM, or YYYY
EPD=() Earliest publication date in family EPD<=20200101 or EPD<=202001 or EPD<=2020 Date
CC=() Country code (publishing authority) CC=(US OR JP) Country and publication codes
KD=() Kind code KD=(A1)
KD=(B*)
KD=(A1 or A2)
KD=(EPA*)
Kind codes KD=(A*) - all kind codes beginning with A
KD=(CCB*) - all kind codes for the given country code, beginning with B
KD=(CCB1) - all kind codes matching B1 for the given country code
ALL_AN=() All assignees ALL_AN=(Toyota) ALL_AN=("General Motors") Names
INV=() Inventor name INV=(Nikola Tesla) Names
S# Previous search string S1 AND S3 NOT S4 Search string
AP=(US12847832) Application number searc Use this to lookup specific publications by application number and then include or exclude in your results
PN=(US10248964) Publication number searc Use this to lookup patents by publication number
