Flinders Filters is a research team specialising in information retrieval. We develop real world solutions including search filters and online search tools.Finding the existing evidence base is a prerequisite to implementing evidence, however searching for this evidence is difficult. "Search filters" are evidence based literature search strategies, developed using an explicit methodology and tested using a gold standard test comparison study design. They provide a standardised, systematic subject-based search with a known level of performance. Embedding the search filter into a URL for a database such as PubMed provides the searcher with access to a highly performing literature search.
