GoPubMed is a knowledge-based search engine for biomedical texts. The Gene Ontology (GO) and Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) serve as "Table of contents" in order to structure the millions of articles of the MEDLINE database. The search engine allows biologists (and medical doctors) to find relevant search results significantly faster. MeshPubMed was at one point a separate project, but now the two have been merged.

The technologies used in GoPubMed are generic and can in general be applied to any kind of texts and any kind of knowledge bases. GoPubMed is one of the first Web 2.0^{[clarification needed]} search engines. The system was developed at the Technical University of Dresden by Michael Schroeder and his team and at Transinsight.

Transinsight's GoPubMed.com, the semantic search engine for the life sciences, has been recognized with the 2009 red dot: best of the best award in the category communication design – graphical user interfaces and interactive tool. A total of 6,112 submissions were received from 42 countries. The jury selected 470 entries for the "red dot design award." A group of only 56 submissions were selected as “the best of the best” and will be participating in the final round for the “grand prix award.” The Transinsight team is proud to receive this prestigious award.
