SureChEMBL Query Overview
The SureChEMBL query field can be used for performing a simple freestyle text search or a more complex Lucene Query search, using the Lucene syntax.
Note: See Lucene Query Field Names and Examples for a complete listing of available Lucene Query field names
The simple freestyle text search provides a way to quickly create a search criteria by entering text that will be searched against the full text of all available patent databases as well as the following bibliographic information: publication number, application number, application dates, priority data, priority dates, IPCR, ECLA or ICO, US classification, assignee or applicant, inventor, and agent.
Examples
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| EP0555555 | This example returns any occurrence of EP0555555 within any of the SureChEMBL Query default bibliographic fields, including all kind codes associated with this example publication number, and EP0555555 appearing anywhere in the full text. |
| US8129395B2 | This example explicitly states the kind code and therefore returns only documents that contain that exact publication number somewhere within the full text or any of the SureChEMBL query default bibliographic fields. |

| aspirin | This example returns all documents containing the term aspirin anywhere within the full text or any of the SureChEMBL query default bibliographic fields. |
| Pfizer C07D “kinase inhibitor” | This example query returns all documents with Pfizer as assignee/applicant, inventor or agent, an IPC or ECLA of C07D and the phrase "kinase inhibitor" anywhere in the full text as well as any documents where any of these terms and phrase appear in the full text. |
