The basic purpose of a patentability search is to better assess the likelihood of securing patent protection for an invention.

This search answers the questions like your idea is truly novel or not, has it already been patented, has it been anticipated or rendered obvious. Since the cost of preparing, filing and prosecuting or attempting to prosecute a patent application is substantial, the search suggests will it be worth the cost to file a patent at all for the idea and will it be worth the effort and expense to fully develop and market your concept.

This search not only makes the application process easier but also helps to strengthen the invention against issues of validity.
