This search engine is capable of retrieving content as in four modes: * Patent Browsing: based on patent information. * Visual Search: based on an advnaced algorithm that extracts an innovative feature for binary image retrieval named: the Adaptive Hierarchical Density Histograms, with a view to finding similar content. * Text Retrieval: based on the textual description of the figures in the patent document. * Hybrid Retrieval: combines the aforementioned search options with filtering based on figure description and category.

SOPHIA have announced the release of their patent search service based on the SOPHIA V2.0 search & discovery core. Searching for patent information is a major challenge and conventional approaches all rely on the user knowing exactly what they are looking for and being able to describe it accurately in order to recover it.

In addition, because SOPHIA facilitates the browsing of semantic neighbourhoods of documents, it is easy to understand which companies are working in specific areas,
