Search Clouds in MedlinePlus

What are people searching in MedlinePlus? The search clouds will tell the story!


Search clouds, added to MedlinePlus in both English and Spanish versions in April 2009, display the top 100 searches and are updated daily. The search terms appear in alphabetical order, with the font size representing the relative search frequency. The bigger the term, the more often it is searched by people who visit MedlinePlus. A term's exact ranking is found by placing the cursor over the term. Clicking on the term within the cloud will initiate a MedlinePlus search.

Spanish and English clouds are unique and may show different search terms and different search frequencies.

The clouds are linked from the MedlinePlus and MedlinePlus en espaƱol homepages.
