Vienna, Virginia - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - July 13, 2007 - A new specialized search engine, has been developed and launched by SearchMedica, co-developed with vertical search services firm, Convera Corporation. The new search solution was unveiled at the SMEG conference in Salamanca, Spain.

The availability of the new search engine was premiered at the gathering of Spanish general practitioners, for access to authoritative medical content on the Web, including professional journals and clinical resources. The site also enables medical professionals to search CMPMedica’s proprietary Vademecum - www.vademecum.es - database of information on thousands of pharmaceuticals. Search results are organized by distinct medical categories, which were developed by working closely with doctors, editors and subject matter experts.

Patrick Condo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Convera explained, ”CMPMedica has seized the opportunity publishers have to serve the online information needs of their professional communities through targeted search services. SearchMedica Spain marks the fourth national market for CMPMedica’s increasingly popular search engine. Vertical search offered by publishers is a model that is working - satisfying professionals and delivering a highly refined audience to advertisers.”

Phil Callow, global Managing Director of SearchMedica offered, ”Medical professionals are turning to the Web for authoritative medical content, and they need a direct and precise path to relevant information. In our extensive consultations with the doctors, specialists and other healthcare professionals we serve, it is clear that general search engines are not built for their individual needs.

Today we are happy to expand SearchMedica to Spain.”
