Searching the deep web for biomedical information
Posted by Kate on June 24, 2009
Looking for ways to find information beyond the typical PubMed/Google Scholar search? Try these new federated search solutions.
Mednar
This search engine allows you to search PubMed, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Library, and other resources using one simple box. Results are clustered by topic, allowing you to zero in on specific topics, authors, or publications. You may also perform advanced searches allowing you to specify title words or authors and set a date range. In addition, you can choose which resources Mednar searches.
ScienceResearch.com
This search engine targets a wide variety of science sources including the NIH, PNAS, ACS, and the AACR. Like Mednar, topics are clustered and you can perform advanced searches limiting your search to specific topic areas.
Don’t have time to search? I can do it for you! Just stop by the library, call x2711, or email me or Sherri Place.

Hi Sherri,
I work for Deep Web Technologies and we love to hear feedback on how to make these search engines better. We created last month an open search tool so that you can search both of these engines and others directly from Firefox and Internet Explorer. You can view those widgets here: http://tinyurl.com/lf559f.
Thanks again for checking out our search engines and look forward to your thoughts!
