Hi All,

I've tried a few different search engines but I thought I'd put this question out there so there can be an active discussion. Any opinions?

For those wondering (because they don't work on proteomics) what HCD is, see here for a start.

I would suggest to get a go with MSGF+; it's cross-platform (java) and quite fast.

There doesn't appear to be a paper on MSGF+ out yet. Any idea when it's coming out?

Indeed, the actual paper MSGF+ paper is not published yet (MS-GF+: Universal Database Search Tool for Mass Spectrometry, Sangtae Kim, Pavel A. Pevzner, submitted), but you can have a look at Spectral Probabilities and Generating Functions of Tandem Mass Spectra: A Strike against Decoy Databases, Sangtae Kim, Nitin Gupta and Pavel Pevzner, J. Proteome Res., 7 (8), 3354-3363, 2008. The actual software paper is not published yet, but the software has been around for quite a long time and has been widerly used.

Edit: By the way, both refs come from MSGF+'s README.txt file
