We report on the pilot evaluation of an experimental query-based search
functionality that enables phrase-level query rewriting in an
unsupervised way. It is intended for supporting search in clinical text.
Qualitative evaluation is done by three clinicans using a prototype
search tool. They report that they find the tested search functionality
to be beneficial for making query-based searching in clinical text more
efficient.
