Medical publisher now offers search engines for oncologists and hematologists, psychiatrists, and primary care professionals
VIENNA, Va., June 5 -- CMPMedica has expanded SearchMedica.com to include SearchMedica Oncology, a dedicated search engine for oncologists and hematologists. Available at www.SearchMedica.com/Oncology, the vertical site is the third specialty-specific search engine offered through SearchMedica.com, a free Web-based service that connects physicians and other medical professionals to credible medical Web sites, online journals and other clinical resources. SearchMedica.com was co-developed with Convera Corporation (NASDAQ:CNVR), www.convera.com, a leading provider of vertical search services for publishers.
In response to extensive research and testing with target users, SearchMedica Oncology includes new functionality which allows search results to be prioritized by publication date, making the most timely and relevant clinical information easily accessible to oncologists and hematologists. All SearchMedica Oncology search results are independent, unbiased and ranked according to relevance, with the option to prioritize results by publication date. They contain well-known, credible journals, peer-reviewed research, and evidence-based articles written for practicing healthcare professionals.
"SearchMedica offers distinct communities of medical professionals a much more relevant search experience," said Patrick Condo, Convera's president and chief executive officer. "To develop SearchMedica Oncology, CMPMedica has collected extensive input from practicing physicians and healthcare editors focused deeply on oncology. The result is a search engine that will be easy to use and highly informative - demonstrating how a premier publisher can serve its discriminating community on the Web."

About SearchMedica.com
SearchMedica.com indexes only authoritative medical information, approved for inclusion by medical editors and a physician editorial board. Medical professionals receive more relevant, smaller sets of search results from SearchMedica.com than from mainstream engines, which contain consumer- oriented, paid testimonials and other types of unreliable information. Since SearchMedica.com is advertiser supported, medical professionals pay nothing to use the specialty search engines. All SearchMedica search results are independent and unbiased. They contain well-known, credible journals, peer- reviewed research, and evidence-based articles written for practicing healthcare professionals. In addition to ranking search results according to relevance, SearchMedica also organizes results into categories such as practical articles and news, research reviews and editorials, evidence-based articles and meta-analyses, practice guidelines, clinical trials for patients, continuing medical education, and alternative-complementary medicine. SearchMedica Primary Care and SearchMedica Psychiatry are currently available at www.SearchMedica.com with more vertical search engines scheduled for launch in 2007 and beyond.
