Is there a safe way to conduct a patent search without potentially losing your idea from trolling\phishing

Veteran

Michael Lacaille Bristol , CT

I was wondering if there are any tips or secrets to conducting a patent search without exposing myself to having my new product or product name used up before I get it patented. Any guidance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
