Medstory: Intelligent Search?

The site's called Medstory, and it's a consumer search product that helps you find your way around the fields of health and medicine.

It's the baby of Valley veteran Alain Rappaport, a French-born scientist and technologist who's been working for years to refine the information search process.
In practice, the premise is fairly simple. As Rappaport puts it, "Most search engines return links, after which you have to read and decide what's important. It's left up to you to do the hard work."

"The difference with Medstory is that it will do this work for you ... extracting the information that is most relevant to your query."

By mixing traditional algorithm search technology with a computerized editing function that links together documents with similar concepts, rather than simply linking familiar terms, Rappaport and Co. could be onto a significant advance in the search terrain.
