Searching the Web can be a time-consuming and frustrating endeavor. The list of medical search engines that follows was written for an training class I taught in March 1999 for the Connecticut Association of Health Science Librarians. This short list presents representative sites for use by clinicians, librarians, researchers and is not meant to be all-encompassing. They are reliable, fast-loading and free.
Indices can be comprehensive and try to be inclusive.
Medicine - Links to medicine and 9 other major subjects are available from this site. Medical Matrix - Large, comprehensive and worth a bookmark. Registration is required, but it is free. MedNETS - This site is a relative newcomer. There are sections for patient education, CME, journals and more.
