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 |
Supported language codes
This is a list of languages which are supported for search in Amplified. You can add them to a text query such as TAC=() to search in that language. For example, TAC_JA=() for Japanese or TAC_ZH=() for Chinese.
