More Full-text -
Quertle now indexes all the Open Access content from PubMed.
More Links -
Quertle continues its ongoing to expand the links available for one-click access to documents, including PDFs.
Searcing by Chemical ID - You can now search for literature on specific chemicals using a variety of IDs.
For example, use
EINECS 216-353-0,
BRN 1428746, or
1563-66-2 to find
carbofuran.
Distinguish between CCL4 (the chemokine) and CCl4 (carbon tetrachloride) -
Logic was added to enable these two entities to be distinguished.
Use the proper capitalization and you will now get what you wanted.
New Power Terms™ - The list of Power Terms™ continues to expand, thanks to suggestions from Quertle users. Keep the feedback coming in.
New Resources - Links are provided on the Home Page to a one-sheet tri-fold guide for
using Quertle and
a user's guide with
Quertle Tips.
More Content - Quertle's content has been expanded as part of its ongoing efforts to provide all the relevant information in a single search interface. Now you can search News Reports (as reported by FierceMarkets Life Sciences and Health Care), so that new discoveries and information can be found before it is published in the literature. Quertle also has added scientific whitepapers and research posters that otherwise do not appear in the literature.
Searching for Multiple Authors - Based on user feedback, Quertle has changed the behavior of searching for multiple authors. When you enter more than one author, only documents that contain all of the names will be reported in the results.
Google Translator - Google's Translator has been added to the bottom of each page to assist researchers whose primary language is not English.
New Power Terms™ - The list of Power Terms™ continues to expand, thanks to suggestions from Quertle users. Keep the feedback coming in.
New Interface - Based on user feedback, the interface for the Quertle site has undergone a major revision.
Keep the feedback coming in.
Full-text Documents - Quertle introduces the first full-text documents,
covering the entire collection of journals (more than 200) from BioMed Central.
More full-text sources will be coming soon!
Results are now Organized by Document - Previously, each relationship was presented separately.
Now, based on user feedback, Quertle presents the relevant relationships from each document together.
Sorting Results by Date - Users now have the option to sort results by date,
in addition to the default ordering by relevance.
New Power Terms™ - Many additional Power Terms, as requested by users, have been added.
Expanded Power Terms - By popular demand, the list of Power Terms (query terms that
represent entire classes of objects) has again been significantly expanded. The new Power Terms include additional
categories such as $FunctionalClass (representing protein functional classes like chemosensors or recombinases),
$CellLines (representing any cell line), and others.
Quertle also introduces "automatic" Power Terms. Unlike the regular Power Terms, which specifically
exclude the query term itself (for example, $Proteins finds any protein but NOT the word "protein"),
automatic power terms find the query term as well as members of its category. Examples include
"blood cancer", "flavones", "glycoprotein hormones", and many more.
The "automatic" Power Terms do not require a $.
Check here for the full list of regular and automatic Power Terms.

"Behind the Scenes" Updates - Quertle has updated some of the searching mechanics,
including searching MeSH terms for keywords, to ensure the most relevant results are found.
Expanded Power Terms - The list of Power Terms (query terms that
represent entire classes of objects) has been greatly expanded. Check
here for the full list.
Key Concept Organization - The Key Concepts filter
is now organized. If you have used a Power Term™ in your query, the members
of that class of objects will be separated. If you have posed a query, such as
"what regulates p53?", the key concepts that occur in the specific portion of the
relationship relevant to the "what" will be listed first.
For all queries, a General Concepts section will be
shown. These General Concepts are not limited to known entities and, depending on your
query, may be broken out into objects and actions.
Expanded Options for Date Filtering - Additional options for filtering by publication
date (last 3 years and last 5 year) are now provided.
Expanded Options for Publication Type Filtering - The list of publication types has be
greatly expanded.
Help and Assistance - A new Help file has been provided. In addition, useful hints
are accessible throughout the site.
At this point, it's all new!
Quertle allows you to search the biomedical literature and get immediate answers
instead of only a long, and usually overwhelming, list of documents.
