Frequently Asked Questions
sLyme is a Lyme Disease search engine. Much of the information on Lyme Disease on the internet is overshadowed by non-Lyme Disease websites when searched. sLyme removes these non-Lyme Disease sites so that the information you need is found quicker.
A simple test demonstrates this reasoning. The picture on the left shows a simple search on Google with the search term "pain in toe/foot". The picture on the right shows the same search with sLyme. The difference in the search results is self-evident.
You can search for anything related to Lyme Disease and its coinfection on sLyme. This includes, but isn't limited to:
Your website must be indexed by sLyme in order for it to appear in search results. You can index you website with sLyme here.

If you've submitted it and it doesn't appear, give us some time to index your website. Usually no more than 24 hours.
Your website still may not appear in sLyme even after we index it because your site itself has not been indexed by Google. sLyme can only index websites that are already indexed in Google. If this is the case, you should submit your site to Google. Also be sure that your website allows search engines to crawl your website.

Yes. sLyme is 100% responsive. This means you'll be able to use sLyme with ease in any size browser (i.e., desktop, mobile phone, tablet).
Sites indexed in sLyme carry their page rank over from Google. However, because sLyme removes the non-Lyme Disease sites, Lyme Disease websites are ranked relatively higher in sLyme compared to Google. Lyme Disease websites indexed in sLyme fill in the void where non-Lyme Disease sites would have appeared, thus allowing them to be found much quicker.
At the current moment we do not. The reason being is that even though posts from Facebook pages are now indexed in Google, clicking on that post in a search engine doesn't take you to that individual post. You're taken to the page of that Facebook post, and not the individual post itself, thus making it incredibly difficult to relocate the original post you found. The process becomes a needle in a haystack.
We know Facebook pages contain valuable information on Lyme Disease, but until Facebook links individual posts from a page, and not the page itself, sadly we must refrain.
