Wall Street Journal Examines Availability, Ease Of Health Information Through New Search Engines, Medical News Today (Mar 23) -- Searching for authoritative health information can be problematic, but there are signs that new engines are delivering more relevant information.
"However, a new generation of tailored search engines seeks to address some of the issues by using different searching methods to limit the number of pages they search and taking consumers directly to the relevant information. In addition, some of the sites organize results into different categories to improve searching efficiency."
The new Kosmix.com and WebMD were two services mentioned. Other companies that are developing health search include Google, Healthline Networks, Mamma.com, and MedStory.
