Kosmix, the topical and categorical search engine, is powering the search application on RevolutionHealth.com, the health and medical website that marries expert health content and resources with social networking. The end result is comprehensive and up-to-date information on millions of medical conditions and treatments using Kosmix search.
Here’s an example of a Kosmix search for Anemia. Kosmix searches blogs, forums, advanced content & reading, and offers personalized suggestions and relevant topics.

With Kosmix’s propriety web content categorization engine, RevolutionHealth.com can return consumers’ search results in an easy to understand user interface. Rather than looking to general search engines for health information and having to sift through lists of unrelated links, people can use RevolutionHealth.com to get the best and most targeted content for their queries, both from the general Web as well as additional site-specific health resources, such as the latest clinical trials, papers and articles.
Kosmix’s hopes to “eases the burden of research by doing the heavy lifting for consumers” via its content grouping technology, which has in development for three years. Kosmix.com combs through billions of Web pages and structured data points to aggregate, categorize, and return the most targeted content to users.
Very interesting that they chose Kosmix for their search. I think Zebra Health uses a proprietary search engine, but I’m not sure. I kind of like that site a little better because it isn’t full of advertising.
