This document discusses the TRIP and SUMSearch search tools. TRIP provides curated searching across various sources of evidence-based medical information, from synopses to primary research. It allows the user to broaden or narrow the search across these different levels. SUMSearch is a meta-search tool that searches multiple sources, including guidelines, systematic reviews, and primary research from PubMed. It aims to provide quality searching across these evidence sources using filters to refine results when more than 100 are returned. The document notes some limitations to complex searching capabilities in SUMSearch.

9. Resultaten in PubMed > 100 :
• use more specific filter (broad)*?
• use more specific filter (narrow)*?
• limit search to 111 ‘best journals’ (BMJ) ?
• restrict to MeSH Major Terms**and title words ?
• restrict to 5 major journals ?
* doesn’t seem to work!
** literal – no automatic translation!

11. • Many sources; well-documented
• Also MEDLINE search w/ filters (narrow)
• “Advanced search” (title, any/all words, pub year)
• History available
• Labs: PICO search, related articles
• Maar: ingewikkelde zoekacties niet mogelijk
