Searching the Derwent Innovation Index

The current version of Derwent Innovations Index uses a different search engine from the search engine that we use in Web of Science product databases. Therefore, the search rules differ:

• You cannot use left-hand truncation in a search query including Topic and Title searches.
• You cannot use stop-words in a search query including Topic and Title searches. A search for Vitamin D will also find Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and so on.
• You cannot create search queries using the NEAR/n operator. For example, battery NEAR/15 lithium is not a valid search.
• The lemmatization feature is not available in the current version of the Derwent Innovations Index.

The Derwent Innovations Index is integrated with the All Databases function, and therefore, searchable when you search the All Databases function.
