En speciell sökmotor: BioText Search Engine del av BioText project vid University of California, Berkeley. Här kan man söka inte bara texten, utan också de tabeller, grafer, etc. som ingår i artikeln. En artikel i PLoS one (14 April 2010) visar att: "This study found evidence, supporting results of an earlier study, that bioscience literature search systems such as PubMed should show figures from articles alongside search results. It also found evidence that full text and captions should be searched along with the article title, metadata, and abstract. Finally, for a subset of users and information needs, allowing for explicit search within captions for figures and tables is a useful function, but it is not entirely clear how to cleanly integrate this within a more general literature search interface. Such a facility supports Open Access publishing efforts, as it requires access to full text of documents and the lifting of restrictions in order to show figures in the search interface."
