Format of administrative info

[Jonas Maebe]

Hi,

The new format of the administrative information (when the patent was filed, published, granted, ...) makes it impossible to use Google queries on gauss to filter on that information. Previously, you could search for things like

  site:gauss.ffii.org "granted: 2006"

and you'd only get hits back about patents granted in 2006. Now that the information is all in a table, this is no longer possible (although just searching for 2006 works reasonably well, since few patents filed/published in 2006 are in the database it seems). Would it be possible to change the format back into something that is more friendly to search engine queries?

Thanks,


Jonas
