  • Very interesting review of Mednar. You make an important point here, "Instead of crawling and indexing static content like Google or many metasearch engines, Mednar queries select, high quality databases to search simultaneously." The currency of what Mednar comes up is definitely notable, as is the fact that it searches recesses of the Deep Web that Google overlooks.

    Very interesting listing, too, of related applications (e.g., PubMed and NextBio and ScienceRoll) and others that are not search engines per se and many of which are new to me.

    Neat site you have here.
