RE: [PIUG List] proximity operator, patent databases with

STN provides a wide variety of patent databases and offers a number of
proximity operators that will allow you to restrict retrieval to words
occurring in the same sentence, paragraph, field within a database, etc.
See http://www.cas.org/training/stncommands/operators.html for general
information on proximity in STN's databases.
 
STN may be accessed through three search interfaces:

* STN Express - Comprehensive desktop access for experienced
online searchers
* STN on the Web - All the power of STN anytime, anywhere for
experienced online searchers
* STN Easy - Web access for occasional or novice searchers

Subject: [PIUG List] proximity operator, patent databases with

  

I am looking for a patent database which allows searching by proximity
operators (i.e. the ability to search for A and B within n words of each
other). Any suggestions?

 

I am familiar with Delphion, where the operator would be A <near/5> B to
search for A and B within 5 words of each other. I assume there are
other (lower cost?) options.
