SearchMedica indexes PubMed, the major medical journals, and major non-research (e.g. practical) journals including Consultant, Psychiatric Times, Medical Economics, The Oncologist and hundreds of others. Content is updated daily and the ranking algorithm is a combination of relevance and publication date. The most recent relevant articles appear first. Although produced by a medical publishing company (CMP Medica), searchmedica.com searches the web "agnostic" to the source of the content. Its only criterion is quality. Unlike consumer-directed search engines, all content indexed by searchmedica.com has been assessed and approved by a board of medical specialists, sparing users many of the unreliable medical sources to be found elsewhere. Searches can also be filtered by categories such as evidence-based medicine, patient education, practice guidelines, and complementary medicine, or by medical specialty. It's unfortunate that many scholarly reviews of medical search have overlooked this new product.
