BASE powers of indexing metadata

The industrious folks at BASE (see their home page or my previous post) have added Nature Precedings and the Signaling Gateway to their search engine, despite the fact that neither provides OAI-PMH metadata. I like BASE -- do a search for "inhibitor" for example and see how many hits you get by data source, document type, free vs not, etc etc.
