Modern patent search combines the precision of Boolean search with the contextual strength of semantic search. This article shows, in practical terms, where traditional keyword-based research reaches its limits and why hybrid search is now a useful standard.
Boolean search patents is not a replacement for modern AI-based approaches, but an alternative search method. In INTERGATOR Patent Search, semantic search remains the default and preferred approach because it understands content in context and quickly reveals relevant relationships. At the same time, many researchers continue to rely on boolean search because it provides maximum control over the query and makes results fully transparent and reproducible. This is exactly where INTERGATOR comes in by bringing both approaches together in a single solution.
