Qihoo, Unsurprisingly,Launches A Separate Medical & Health Search Service

Qihoo 360 rolls out a new vertical search service, named Liang Yi (Good doctors in Chinese), for medical and health information. It has indexed 150 million webpages from 114 legitimate healthcare websites and 1716 official websites of hospitals’, according to Qi Xiangdong, president of Qihoo.

Its default page, like the start-up page Qihoo runs, features keywords of diseases and healthcare websites. Clicking on a keyword, you’d be led to a sub-page where you can see information about the disease, hospitals and doctors that specialize in it — there are buttons that would direct you to the websites where you can make online reservations,  and lastly search results.

Users can see the rating of each search result — from Qihoo’s website rating service, to the right. Qihoo said that they would stop indexing a website if the rating of it became too low.
