: Hi. I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on the best way to search for patents. I have an assignment to find exactly how many patents have been awarded for "protein kinases" and "protein phosphatases", but every search engine I have found seems to give hits if these words occur ANYWHERE in the patent, and not only those patents that are actually for kinases or phosphatases. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to place some limitations on your search. For one, limit the search to the abstract or claims or title. Second, find something a bit more descriptive than "protein kinase" and "protein phosphate." These terms are very generic in the biological area. For example, limit the search to the types of uses involved. Good luck.
