Well yes. But let's say you're interested in a very particular method being used in a paper. That method is often not mentioned in abstracts or to enough detail to discern by a keyword search. Searching by anything that probes abstracts will never get you a comprehensive result. You need an engine that searches also article body. That's my whole point I'm raising.

Gave it a whirl. It appears indeed powerful. Google sucks for literature search because most literature is behind paywalls, so you essentially search abstracts. Pubmed sucks because well... It's a got a bit of a primitive search algorithm. This actually works holy shit. I'll introduce it to my lab mates, thank you!
