Google Builds Government Search Site

Google on Thursday rolled out a special U.S. government search built using the company's customized homepage platform. The site lets users quickly search for IRS forms, locate a DMV Web site and find phone numbers to local government offices. The latest Government-related news is also displayed.

"It's a site on which you can 1) search across a huge index of U.S. Federal, state and local government websites via a single search box, and 2) stay up to date through personalized content feeds from government agencies and press outlets," said Google product manager Kevin Gough. "Off you go."
