Other Operators
Beyond Boolean and wildcard characters, users of PatentAnalysis.com also can use the 'fuzzy search' operator when constructing search queries.
The fuzzy search operator in PatentAnlysis.com is represented by the tilde ~. Using the ~ operator at the end of a search term will find documents that contain words similar to the search term. For example, searching for "moth~" will find documents that contain terms like "math," "both" or "moths."
