The American College of Physicians-American Society
of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM) is the largest medical
specialty organisation and the second largest physician
group in the USA. Membership comprises more than 115,000
internal medicine physicians and medical students.
Among
the products and services available from ACP-ASIM is
the annual electronic product Best Evidence.
This CD-ROM includes over 1200 abstracts and commentaries
from ACP Journal Club, a bi-monthly publication. The
contents of the database are accessible by both full-text
search and an index.

"Its
indexing and searching speed is very fast. I found
dtSearch to be very easy to use and was producing
impressive results very quickly."

For Best Evidence 4, the decision was made to
move all files to HTML. A custom interface was designed
using Visual Basic and several new features were added.
A new search engine had to be found which would provide
long-time users of Best Evidence with features
they were used to, such as Boolean searching and highlighting
of search hits.
Programmer Dan Barron explored several search engines
but finally chose dtSearch. "What attracted me to
dtSearch was it's flexibility and speed. I like the fact
that it can be embedded in a program, or run on a web
site. And its indexing and searching speed is very fast.
I found dtSearch to be very easy to use and was producing
impressive results very quickly. The support team is very
responsive."
Best Evidence 4 was released in April 2000 at
the ACP-ASIM's Annual Session.
