Introduction

For several years now, I've been thinking that whenever I finish a search in Medline, it just gets filed away and no one ever looks at it again. This isn't always true, and the search strategy is recorded, but how often do I go back and look at it again?

This year I started collecting search examples for instructional purposes, but I kept thinking about recording the MeSH quirks that I came across, not only for my own use in future, but also to share with colleagues.

It's about time that I stopped thinking about it and started doing something about it.
