2. Medical World Search ( MWSearch ) 

The twentieth century brought on the information explosion and the Internet has extended the information age to the twenty first century with an impact that is beyond measure and expectation. Information is critical in every day life from traffic jam to economic crisis. Information is vital in every domain of businesses. 

For each individual or family, one can not over emphasize the importance of keeping abreast of the overwhelming information explosion in the various medium especially the world wide web. The most important information domains to any individual can be categorized as follows 

  • Health/medical 
  • Finance/investment 
  • Education 
  • Career and job 
  • Marriage, family planning and raising children
  • Social interaction and entertainment
  • Many Others

The above list can be much longer and can be subjective. For example, religion, taxes, environments, etc. are also important information domains. TLC Information services sets its goal to provide valuable information on all important information domains with intelligence rather than being non-discriminative. TLC IS' first effort was focused on developing and providing an intelligent medical world search engine. The methodology of using domain thesaurus and proprietary intelligent search can be applied to the other information domains. TLC Information Services welcomes partners to engage in the development and provision of intelligent information in the various domains.

As a reference to TLC Information Services' achievement, the Medical World Search service, MWSearch, is the world's first intelligent medical search engine. It understands medical concepts and thesaurus so that queries can be intelligently expanded to find more relevant and deeper medical and health knowledge from the vast amount of health and medical information (15% of the web pages are health and medical related). MWSearch also can crawl the web and index the most relevant medial web sites and produce condensed and relevant information digest as a public service. MWSearch as an automated search tool has served the public since 1996. TLC Information Services is very proud of the compliments it received from its member users over the years.
