This is the presentation of a Google Custom Search Engine that searches sites freely accessible and generally reliable with information about the field of Life Sciences. This stage is an intermediate one of what, at the time, became the final stage and can be accessed at Life Sciences Search +. If you wish to try the functionality of the tool please enter your query below. You will be able to refine your search after the results are displayed. To come back to this page use the browser back arrow. If you click on the "Selective Search" tab after executing a search the current search results will be lost. Just in case you are wondering what's up with the "bird," well ....it's "fishing" and it's very good at it (wink.)
The search results will be returned in a Google page. To navigate back to this search engine form page use the browser back button or bookmark the page.
