CognitionSearch™ - Trial a new MEDLINE search engine using natural language

Better than PubMed? OVID?

This summer, the Rudolph Matas Library is serving as a testing ground for a new MedLine search engine. It is called CognitionSearch™. What makes this any different from other search engines? It allows users to search in natural language, phrases, or boolean logic but the results are based on meaning rather than proximity or hierarchies of subject headings. Try it and compare with your favorite MedLine search engines. Please submit feedback via the feedback link. By the way, they are randomly offering weekly cash prizes to those who submit feedback.

Better? You be the judge @ http://www.cognitionsearch.com/health .
