SearchGov

SearchGov makes it easier for people to find the information they need from federal websites. As the search engine used by thousands of federal websites, SearchGov supports more than 240 million searches a year.

SearchGov shares its history with USA.gov, beginning when internet entrepreneur Eric Brewer donated a powerful search engine to the government. In 2000, USA.gov, at the time named FirstGov.gov, debuted. It featured a search box that allowed users to search across government websites. In 2010, SearchGov expanded to serve agencies throughout the U.S. government.
