Retrieval Engine Will Help Medical Professionals
And Consumers Pinpoint Information Rapidly
eMedicine.com, the medical education web network
and developer of the first online, peer-reviewed
medical reference library, has chosen the dtSearch
Text Retrieval Engine to power its new search
engine.
Jeffrey Berezin, eMedicine CTO, said "A search
engine is the core of a content website and we
have the largest concentration of medical textbook
information available on the Internet. Users coming
into our site want rapid access to information.
dtSearch will give our users greater selectivity
of information. It will also allow us to tailor
the search engine to the particular user visiting
our site, regardless of whether they are a consumer
or medical professional."
"eMedicine is a great resource for both consumers
and professionals," said David V. Thede, president,
dtSearch Corp. "The innovative web searching interface
they have created is very impressive. For example,
they use a unique and effective pop-up synopsis
window to provide informative but uncluttered
research results. We are very impressed with their
searching implementation."

The dtSearch Engine can search through gigabytes
of text in a second because it builds an index
that stores the location of words in files. Once
an index is built, search speed is generally less
than a second, even through it searches many thousands
of files.
eMedicine gives physicians and consumers Internet
access to clinical decision support tools and
information that, in the past, would have to be
looked up in a textbook. New editions of reference
books often require two to five years to move
from concept to bookstore, so the information
can be quickly out of date. eMedicine addresses
this critical information delay by providing content
that can be updated daily. The content also includes
radiographic images, audio and video clips as
well as links to other sites. The company is privately
held and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.
dtSearch Corp. (www.dtsearch.com)
offers a decade of experience in text search and
retrieval. The dtSearch product line encompasses
both end-user and developer products. Customers
include Fortune 500 companies; major software
vendors,; government agencies; and large legal,
medical, accounting and recruiting firms.
