Medical Search Engine for General Practitioners in France

Convera Corporation (NASDAQ: CNVR), a leading provider of search technologies for publishers, announced the launch of SearchMedica France. The specialized search engine, built for doctors in France, was developed by CMPMedica, Convera and medical experts from Le Quotidien du Médecin, a popular daily medical journal published by CMPMedica. CMPMedica, a division of UBM plc, is a global provider of healthcare information and education.

SearchMedica France provides specialized access to well-respected medical Web sites, professional journals and clinical resources. The site also enables medical professionals to search CMPMedica's proprietary Vidal database of information on 3,500 pharmaceuticals. Search results are organized by distinct medical categories, which were developed by working closely with doctors in real-life working conditions.

"As medical professionals increasingly turn to the Web for critical information, CMPMedica has developed the right prescription for vertical search," said Patrick Condo, Convera's chief executive officer. "SearchMedica France provides a way to search the Web for highly relevant content that professionals can trust and offers access to proprietary editorial content that is not published on the Web. It's a search engine built for doctors, tested by them and backed by strongly positive reviews."

SearchMedica France expands CMPMedica's vertical search solutions for medical professions and strengthens the SearchMedica brand. CMPMedica has teamed with Convera to launch SearchMedica sites for UK general practitioners as well as U.S. primary care providers and psychiatrists. CMPMedica is looking to develop further search solutions for healthcare professionals in other specialties and countries.
