Why Papedex?

🧭

Search by meaning

Describe your topic in your own words. Papedex compares the meaning of your query with all 20M abstracts, so it finds papers that match the idea even when they never use your exact terms.

🔬

PubMed, side by side

Any search can show PubMed's results next to Papedex's. See the overlap, see what each one missed, and judge for yourself.

🧩

Seven channels, one list

Semantic and keyword search over titles and abstracts, plus author search, fused into a single ranking. Recency and journal impact act as tie-breakers, never as filters.

📅

Current to yesterday

New PubMed records are added every night. Coverage runs from 2005 to today, with exact title:, author:, journal: and year: filters when you need them.

Try it on something you're working on right now

Paste the paragraph you're stuck on, or describe the paper you half-remember. Then turn on "Compare with PubMed" and see what each engine finds.
