How this search works

There is no outside search company involved. The site builds its own index by reading its own pages — the same words you would see on the page — and each result shows a literal snippet of that text with your words highlighted. Nothing is summarised or rewritten by a machine in between.

One addition, made by hand: a short list of everyday words that our pages cover under another name. Search "symptoms" and you are also shown The 10 warning signs; "medication" leads to Treatments & medicines; "hotline" to the helplines. A result reached that way shows the page's own description, and it only ever points to a page that already covers the subject.

27580 pages, questions, glossary terms and research summaries are indexed, last rebuilt 2026-11-03. Las páginas en español también aparecen en estos resultados. The clinical trial records are not in this index — they have their own finder, which searches all trial titles, sponsors and drugs directly.
