I would have to disagree with that to some extent. If you know how to do a decent literature search on a new field, you know how to do a decent patent search. www.google.com/patents is a useful tool - start out with some keyword searches, identify some related patents, check out the other patents listed under References Cited / Referenced By. Repeat. If you know some relevant scientific articles, you may be able to search for the first or last author under inventor name. Google scholar also allows you to search for related articles - including patents!
Reading patents doe stake a bit of practice. The actual Claims section is super important and is typically written in legalese. But there is often a large background section that reads much more like (and is often copied directly from) a scientific paper.
