Here’s new feature in MedlinePlus, the Search Cloud.

The search cloud displays the top 100 search terms typed into the MedlinePlus search box. The search cloud is usually updated every week day. The terms appear in alphabetical order, and their size represents their relative frequency. The bigger the term, the more often it is searched by people who visit MedlinePlus. A term’s exact ranking is found by placing your cursor over the term. Click on any term in the search cloud to conduct a search for that term in MedlinePlus. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cloud.html
