Introduction

This is about writing query expressions properly.

Searching for names

uspto-peds search 'appExamName:"WILSON, NICHOLAS R"'

Note the quotes around the examiner name here.

Searching for (multiple) document numbers

For querying numberlists, propose an expression like (see also https://github.com/ip-tools/uspto-opendata-python/issues/10#issuecomment-480095121)
```
uspto-peds search 'patentNumber:(6583088 OR 6875727 OR 8697602)'
```
Improve querying numberlists by providing an appropriate --numberlist= command line option.
