According to an Associated Press article, search engine giant Google has launched a search engine that acts as a one stop search for all US Government sites. The site will probably rival or even beat the US Government’s own search engine FirstGov.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Internet search engine Google wants to be a top source of information from the federal government.<\/p>\n
The company plans to announce a new product today that aims to be a one-stop site for searching the Web sites of government agencies.<\/p>\n
It’s called Google U.S. Government Search, and it targets federal employees who are heavy users of government Web sites.<\/p>\n
It’s on the Web at usgov.google.com.<\/p>\n
The site could go up against the government-sponsored site Firstgov.gov, which targets the same audience and is powered by Microsoft’s MSN system. But Google officials say the new search engine should complement Firstgov without directly competing.<\/p>\n
It is also designed to help citizens navigate the Web to get the government information they need with customized pages.<\/p>\n
The search engine will also deliver information from commercial sources such as The Washington Post and CNN.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
