## What is MeSHSearch?

MeSH Search makes PubMed searching smarter and more intuitive.
Designed for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and the life sciences, this next-generation MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) search assistant instantly suggests the most appropriate MeSH terms from everyday language and keywords—even if you don't know the exact terminology.

■ Key Features

Vector Semantic Search
Simply enter everyday terms like "heart attack" and the vector semantic search understands the meaning, suggesting the most relevant MeSH term (e.g., Myocardial Infarction). It flexibly handles typos and abbreviations.

Qualifier Support
Choose from official PubMed subheadings such as "drug therapy," "diagnosis," and "prevention and control." The app automatically generates precise syntax like "Myocardial Infarction/drug therapy"[Mesh].

Major Topic (MAJR) Designation
Assign Major Topic status to terms that should carry more weight in your search. The [MAJR] tag is automatically applied, supporting more precise filtering.

Synonym Grouping
Automatically combine multiple expressions of the same concept (e.g., Myocardial Infarction / Heart Attack) into an OR group. Generate comprehensive search strategies that integrate both MeSH and free-text searching in a single tap.

Query Builder
Freely combine AND / OR / NOT operators with drag-and-drop ease. Build complex search strategies involving multiple MeSH terms and keywords through an intuitive interface.

One-Tap PubMed Access
Execute your constructed search string directly in PubMed. You can also copy it and easily paste it into reference managers like EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley.

Japanese Language Support
The interface and search functionality support both Japanese and English. Enjoy a seamless workflow: think in Japanese and retrieve English MeSH terms.

Multilingual Term Translations
Japanese and other language translations of MeSH terms are generated using large language models (LLMs). While we strive for accuracy, translations may not always reflect precise medical or scientific terminology. Please refer to the original English MeSH terms for authoritative definitions.

■ Recommended For
Researchers conducting systematic reviews and meta-analyses

Physicians, nurses, and pharmacists who need evidence-based literature searches

Medical, nursing, and pharmacy students learning EBM (Evidence-Based Medicine)

Medical librarians looking to streamline complex query construction

MeSH Search makes your literature searches faster and more accurate.
