New Plan

  • INPUT: string of search-ready disease name or associated gene, ex. 'BRCA1', 'Hashimoto's Thyroiditis'
  • OUTPUT: list (of lists) of 1) base site name of 2) searched-URLs for the disease/gene

Sites to be Searched

  • General Patient Info
    • eMedicine
    • Google ('more:condition_treatment' is default)
    • Wikipedia
    • (WHO)
  • Less Patient-Friendly But Possibly Useful Info:
    • HapMap
    • OMIM
    • GeneCards


Tasks

  1. Parse the search-term for individual sites' search URLs
  2. Return the search-URL + parsed-search-terms


Parsing

  • Characters in the search-term will be:
    • alpha
    • apostrophe
    • blank-space
    • lowercase
  • Thus, will need to check how each site handles this, in addition to fitting it within the search-URLs
  • Will test each site using search-string: "Hashimoto's Thyroiditis"

eMedicine

  • Tested URL:
http://www.emedicine.com/cgi-bin/foxweb.exe/searchengine@/em/searchengine?boolean=and&book=all&maxhits=40&HiddenURL=&query=hashimoto's%20thyroiditis
  • Case:
    • lower
  • Space:
    • replaced with%20
  • Apostrophe:
    • left in where it was
  • Location
  1. http://www.emedicine.com/cgi-bin/foxweb.exe/searchengine@/em/searchengine?boolean=and&book=all&maxhits=40&HiddenURL=&query=
  2. term, with replacements

Google (General Search)

  • Google has its general search, as well as a "Treatment" search with more specific information
General
  • Tested URL
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=hashimoto%27s+thyroiditis&btnG=Search
  • Case:
    • lower
  • Space:
    • replaced with +
  • Apostrophe:
    • replaced with %27
  • Location:
  1. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=
