FWIW, you're often better off not searching, or looking at, patents.
If you end up in a patent case, your liabilities will be much higher if they can sufficiently claim you knowingly infringed. Evidence that you searched for patents can weigh against you / your employer. Even if you weren't associated with the infringing product itself.

- monochromatic 10y agoDid it? Got a link?
