Mednar, New Medical Search Engine

We have recently noticed that a lot of library blogs, especially those for medical librarians from the expressed approval of its new medical search engine: mednar. And I decided to look at it up close, and below it to the short characteristic.

Mednar to medical search engine, designed by U.S. firm the Deep Web Technology. This is called. Integrated search engine (called federated search engine), which allows simultaneous searching of different resources. Mednar is a search engine that allows you to search the so-called “hidden Internet”, that is, network resources not available to ordinary search engines.

Medno is a free tool available for the cost of medical research that uses advanced technology to return results of high quality.
Medno federated advanced technology used in the search so that it also uses network technologies profound. And what is that? Aggregates and analyzes content Medno databases deep generally inaccessible to search engines such as government documents and more.

For a specialized search engine no more than go with Medno, as has characteristics that distinguish it and make it only useful for the field of Health Sciences. Doctors, nurses and providers in this field will find it relevant. Not the fastest of all because it is designed so that your search is always “live” and not “previously indexed” mode because Google so you always give the results to date and more will always be updated, but that is why their machine is slow because it uses technology “Federated Search”. The fact is that if you want a more precise tool, and if you play in this area of human knowledge may need to know. I in particular made me not useful, but only you know in your case.

Specialized search engines

Speaking of the Internet now is to talk of Search Engines. In fact one of the main activities performed by users on the Internet is to research information or who do not know or simply do not recall at the time: at school to do research, work to get in a quick information about a particular topic, or searches for places to vacation, restaurants, hotels, videos, results of a game, movie and much more. And when it comes to search engines will think immediately to Google.

Quintura has become an alternative search engine-2008

Quintura second time headed the list of Alternative search engine until version AltSearchEngines.com. Alt Search Engines Editor Charles Knight explained his choice this way:

When you’re looking for using Quintura, you see two-dimensional cloud tags. In other words, the words in the search box allows you to explore the concepts with the key word. Seen in the search field is what did not? Click the box and refocus itself around a new term ».

The aggregation of content or a structured search

In my previous note I worked engine Xclustering aggregation of content. Mednar is another engine that pre-élague into themes and sub-topics search results. Even if the engine is not general (it is medical) some of its peculiarities should be highlighted.

conceptual clustering <-> conceptual aggregation
Organization of objects, events or facts into classes characterized by simple descriptive concepts.
