Show HN: MedicLib - A better medical litterature search engine

MedicLib ( http://www.mediclib.com ) is medical literature search engine that rank and categorize articles from Pubmed/Medline ( http://www.mediclib.com/about ). The goal is to be helpful to physicians by filtering noise and boosting landmark papers in the results (still in progress).

I plan to add fuzzy search, enhanced filters and also a new datasource, the FDA drugs descriptions.

Any comment, question, or suggestion is welcome.

Do you have any plans to expand this to all scientific literature, not just medicine? A useful scientific literature search engine is greatly needed. (Good job on Mediclib, though)

I have no plans to expand to all scientific literature, unless I find a good source of structured data to work on. If there is a Pubmed equivalent for other scientific fields, please drop me a link :)

There isn't a good public database of scientific literature; that's part of the problem.

I'm impressed. Nicely done.

One suggestion would be to add dates.

Release date and journal will soon be added in the results view under the authors.
