Health, Specialized Search?
OK so I am on a health kick (sort of) and I encountered this new search engine specialized for health related info. Looks like a well put together site and was plugged by all things Web 2.0 Mike Arrington. I have not had time to register and dig into some of their other "amenities" and explore additional health specific content provided, but it looks interesting. Did get more focused hits on my "hypotension and exercise" search and that was promising.
What puzzles me however is why Google just wouldn't jump in and own this market?. They are already the kings of search, how much more would they have to do to own "specialized search engines" of many flavors: health, law, etc. I suppose if Healthline does it right they could be hoping for a payday by selling to the big boys (a likely scenario).

Great site. Presents a more focused search of the web than Google..with less erroneous hits to wade through. I did a search for Nursing Care Plans and found some great information.
