A search for documents containing one or more words that are specified by a user.
The process of examining electronic documents in a collection or system by matching a keyword or keywords with instances in the various documents. Keyword searches can only be done on electronic files in their native format, in searchable PDF, or in files that have been associated with an OCR text file. Standard keyword searches will return a positive result only if the exact keyword or a close derivative is specified. Search derivatives returned by litigation support search engines commonly include 'stemming'. Stemming includes grammatical variations on a word, such that a search for "applied" would also return "applying", "applies", and "apply".

WIPO Standard ST. 16 codes (kind codes) include a letter, and in many cases a number, used to distinguish the kind of patent document (e.g., publication of an application for a utility patent (patent application publication), patent, plant patent application publication, plant patent, or design patent) and the level of publication (e.g., first publication, second publication, or corrected publication).
-- see more about USPTO kind codes (PDF) -- see a list of kind codes
Detailed information on Standard ST. 16 and the use of kind codes by patent offices throughout the world is available on the WIPO web site at http://www.wipo.int/scit/en, under the links for WIPO standards and other documentation.
