Most of us technically savvy people have used and become adapted to text/keyword searching and those of us who do searching for a living (I'm a Patent Analyst) are accustomed to techniques to utilize this system. Xyggy, somewhat like Google Sets before it, challenges us to change our mindset (perhaps BACK to the way it was, some may say) and in doing so we might find even more useful results. The patent searching portion available is intriguing, and while it has a long way to go in terms of a patent application, is worth checking out for yourself. I wrote up two blog posts on the subject, and Dinesh was kind enough to drop by and have back and forth discussion that you might find interesting.
