New functionality furthers mission to provide timely access and practical

                                 resources



    DARIEN, Conn., Aug. 11 /EMWNews/ -- SearchMedica.com, the leading

search engine for medical professionals, today announced the availability

of PubMed's MEDLINE abstracts at SearchMedica.com. Now physicians can

access abstracts from the 5,200 journals included in U.S. National Library

of Medicine's MEDLINE index. SearchMedica's MEDLINE abstracts link back to

the Pubmed.gov Web site, which allows easy access to journal Web sites,

including associated full text articles whenever available online,

providing fast access to the most practical MEDLINE abstracts.



    "SearchMedica strives to be a one-stop shop for doctors and other

medical professionals by aggregating many different resources from a wide

range of credible sources," explains Edward Grossman, senior vice president

of digital media and acquisitions for SearchMedica. "SearchMedica now

contains the best of PubMed, the best online medical journals and more, and

this recent modification was driven by user requests."



    SearchMedica provides free, open access to the Web's most authoritative

content for medical professionals. The new integration of MEDLINE resources

keeps with this mission, simplifying the search process and providing

authoritative clinical information in fewer clicks. SearchMedica filters

MEDLINE results to only connect medical professionals with practical

resources. Animal studies, for example, are not included in SearchMedica

results.



    By default, SearchMedica returns results from "all of medicine,"

suitable for any practicing medical professional. Specialists, however, can

refine their search into any of eight disease categories including

cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, pediatric and respiratory disorders. Early

feedback from SearchMedica's registered user base indicates the new

interface is easier to use and more intuitive. Access to MEDLINE abstracts

further enhances this functionality and provides specialists with

additional clinical resources.



    Even before this development, SearchMedica.com was acknowledged for its

outstanding user experience as a recipient of a 2007 Standard of Excellence

WebAward.
