A battle between two searching heavyweights!

Conclusion

Its a knock-out!

For short, accurate searches, use MeSH

For extensive, exhaustive searches, use freetext WITH MeSH, to ensure the best result

In the blue Corner: Freetext!

Freetext searching means searching for key words and phrases in the title, abstract and some other fields of an article

This means that you may get many results which are not relevant, because they only make brief reference to your terms, and are not really focused on the subject you are searching for

MeSH are medical subject headings

They describe what Medline articles are about

Searching with them ensures your results are more relevant, and you don't miss out on papers that use different terminology
