Abstract

Purpose: One of the ways of information RETRIEVAL in the field of Medicine is using SPECIAL SEARCH ENGINES which are designed for this purpose. The present research intends to compare RECALL and PRECISION of these search engines in respect to OBSTETRICS and GYNECOLOGY DISEASES.Methodology: The method used is comparative study. To follow this method, some consultations were made with the obstetricians and the gynecologists, and five keywords were chosen. The search engines include Hon Search, Omni, Pogo Frog, Search Medica, and Trip Database. They were then compared with the criteria: RECALL and PRECISION.Findings: The first 10 retrieved results of each search engine were studied. Then, they were compared with RECALL and PRECISION formula. The results showed that Search Medica with 94% PRECISION and 20.6% RECALL retrieved the most documents and stands in the first rank. From PRECISION point of view, Search Medica with 94% stands in top and Pogo Frog with 92% stands in the second rank.Conclusion: Each one of the special MEDICAL SEARCH ENGINES has its own capabilities and facilities, strengths and weaknesses, but among the studied search engines in terms of their RECALL, no significant difference was observed among the MEDICAL SEARCH ENGINES with the mean of 20.8.
