We asked our panelists to explore the discs for information about five ailments: a sprained ankle, a peptic ulcer, a benign prostate inflammation, a child's middle-ear infection, and a repetitive strain injury to the thumb and wrist called DeQuervain's syndrome.
Rather than search for the ailment itself, our panelists tried to find information by searching for the symptoms that a person with these ailments might experience. This approach let them arrive at the information just the way most users would. Failing that, they searched directly for the ailments in order to assess the data provided for the target ailment.
