Abstract :
In this day and age medical search engines have become a necessity. External influences and user trends contribute to the popularity of medical search engines. Unlike their predecessors (horizontal search engines) extensive search strategies have yet to be implemented on vertical search engines like medical search engines. The composition and structure of medical search engines draw many users to utilize them regularly. This makes a medical search engine an ideal domain to implement and asses the feasibility of existing search engine strategies. By doing so, users will be provided with relevant search results. In this research study, we review current search strategies and analyze the applicability of these techniques on medical search environments. We also suggest a direction for the future of search engine strategies on medical search engines.
