Adaptive biomedical search tool - COOL

Calling it "Google with more juice" for life sciences

OK, basic message, MISearch did not do well, but PubMed itself was barely any better. Folks dissatisfied with both.

"It doesn't take a lot of 'site is down' experiences to convince people to move on." Oh,yeah.

Interesting - librarians typically estimated searching taking 3x longer than it really did. Feels like forever ... :)

Mentioning Gene2MeSH and MimiCytoscape

Proposing to do away with indexing and abstracting, use instead statistical word count frequencies
