Med Teller-An intelligent medical Web search engine that extensively uses medical knowledge

ABSTRACT
Searching for medical information on the Web is popular and important. However, medical search has its own unique requirements that are poorly handled by existing medical Web search engines. The Med Teller , the first intelligent medical Web search engine that extensively uses medical knowledge and questionnaire to facilitate ordinary Internet users to search for medical information. Med Teller introduces and extends expert system technology into the search engine domain. It uses several key techniques to improve its usability and search result quality. First, since ordinary users often cannot clearly describe their situations due to lack of medical background, Med Teller uses a questionnaire-based query interface to guide searchers to provide the most important information about their situations. Second, Med Teller uses medical knowledge to automatically form multiple queries from a searcher’ answers to the questions. Using these queries to perform search can significantly improve the quality of search results. Third, Med Teller structures all the search results into a multilevel hierarchy with explicitly marked medical meanings to facilitate searchers’ viewing. Lastly, Med Teller suggests diversified, related medical phrases at each level of the search result hierarchy
