FirstGov Expands Search Capability

The BeSpacific blog (1/24/2006) highlights FirstGov's
expanded search capability for access to government
information. The improved search engine: expands the
search to include federal, state, local tribal and territorial
documents; increases the universe of government documents
from 8 million to 40 million; searches more efficiently and
effectively through the Microsoft MSN search index and
Vivisimo's metasearching technology; and, uses clustering
technology to organize thousands of search results into
categories.
