Dear all,
Further to this people might like to have a play with Google Suggest:
http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en
It suggests what you might be searching for - as you type.
I can't find a previous mention of this on the list - I think it may
have been overshadowed by Google Scholar / Print.
Something similar to this which would suggest additional search terms
(with slightly less pop culture) could be very handy. For example try
"systematic review".
Cheers
Alan

Subject: ?New Feature on PubMed: 'Did you mean?'
Dear All,
I always liked the Google feature 'Did you mean?', which, for me as a
poor speller, is often very helpful; occasionally, after carefully
checking the spelling of an unusual term or concept, I say 'no' and
insist that my spelling is correct.
The best PubMed could do was an indication 'one word cannot be found'
and you then had to check its spelling.
***Today I saw for the first time that PubMed has a 'Did you mean?'
feature, just like Google.
This is a great - I just wonder when it was introduced?
It's so difficult to stay ahead of all new features on PubMed and
elsewhere...
Best wishes,
Reinhard
