   Something I’ve noticed in search that goes in the direction of plausible   
   bullshit is when I search for the manufacturers’ “Summary of Product   
   Characteristics” for a given medication, carefully using double quotes around   
   the medication name to look for that medication and only that medication, it   
   gives the SmPCs for medications used for the same indication, exactly what I   
   don’t want, since *I* am *already* most likely to confuse the side-effects   
   and   
   contraindications of those meds
