Anyone know of a medical search engine?
This is the closest to one I've seen - sm
[ In Reply To ..]This is the closest to a medical search engine I've seen. It's called Medical Transcription Word Seeker, more like a customized search of Google that searches medical websites. See link below:
I use the above site...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]and have been for at least 4 or 5 years. Works great for me. Usually find what I need.
P.S...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]I have also used Family Practice Notebook in the past for some things. Very informational.
I use it too, very helpful - jk
[ In Reply To ..]I use MT Word Seeker too, can't do without it. What makes it different from normal Google is this particular customized version just searches medical and MT-related sites. There are also refinement links at the top of the results page, clicking on which narrows down the search results even further to websites on the topic clicked. For example, clicking on "Doc & Hospital Search" refinement will show results from doc & hospital finder websites exclusively.
Similarly, clicking on the refinement, "Medication Searcher" shows search results from just medication websites. There are also other refinements like "Medical Abbrev," "Dictionaries," "Do-Not-Use Abbrev," "Nursing Home Search," among others. Do note that all these refinements do not show up on all search results, but on search results matching closely to the query.
So, for example, if you search for medications, the refinement tab "Medication Searcher" shows up and you can click and refine search results from just med sites.
To search across all sites again, you'd have to click the "All Results" button. This is important to reset the settings to its default setting of searching across all sites.
Another notable difference from Google search is that when you type in a query, you get suggestions that are of relevance, not non-medical words or phrases.
Awesome, thank you so much! - nm
[ In Reply To ..]Thank you for the detailed explanation.
thank you - tj
[ In Reply To ..]So excited to discover this, thanks for sharing :) :)
I am most appreciative of this information. - thank you!
[ In Reply To ..]I had no idea you could do this. This is why this website works. Exchange of brilliant and helpful information.
Medical Search Engine - I use only this one
[ In Reply To ..]PogoFrog.com It is the best and specifically for medical.
I use MT Word Seeker - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I've tried pogo, but I don't find the refinement links there that I find on MT Word Seeker. I think it's a general medical search engine as opposed to a medical search engine for medical transcriptionists as I don't seem to find many sample reports/terms on pogo.

Is There A Search Engine That Searches Just Medical Sites?
Feb 23, 2011
I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G. I search for a medical word, but get results from sites that have nothing to do with medicine. I end up questioning the credibility of these search results and have to research more. Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff. Anyone ...

The below listed paragraph is echo-dictation. This means that I am listening to the dictator and repeating what is said into a microphone.

The Search For A Good MT...

I am just really troubled about this post that good MTs are hard to find.

This is some of my experience: I have been hired by a MTSO that has been in business for 10 years yet not 1 single MT in the office. No one had a clue as to the account specs or ever worked on the platform. There ...
