Gigablast Government Search Engine

Gigablast, a search engine company founded in 2000,
has released a Government search engine in beta version
which indexes more than 34 million pages.

The Advanced search option allows for refined searching.
In addition to tradition boolean searches (i.e., terms
and connectors searches) you can restrict your search to a
specific URL or group of URLs.

Search results feature a list of retrieved items
organized by subtopic. For example, a search
for federal legislation provides links to
results under House Bills, Senate Bills, Congressional
Bills, etc.

Gigablast has also released beta versions of a Blogs
search engine and a Travel search engine.
