Many of our readers may have already been surfing the internet with true ease. However, many readers may have as yet not started searching the internet for medical information. Finding the latest statistics on their favorite sports team, an easy recipe for potatoes au gratin, and the shortest route from Atlanta to DisneyWorld maybe, but not medical information. The first part is getting started searching. A more precise method would be to use a medical search engine.
Search engines come in several flavors.
Single search engines perform topic or keyword searches on a title or the full text of a site. A second type of search engine, a meta-search engine, posts queries to multiple single search engines at one time and the results are combined. AND, OR, and NOT operators to narrow your search criteria. It too, supports the AND, OR, and NOT operators. Medical World Search can send searches to other search engines as well.
