Federal E-Gov Portal Will Benefit From New Search Feature Enhancements

Press release: Vivísimo and MSN Search to Provide Search Backbone for Redesigned FirstGov Portal: “As part of the agreement, Vivísimo teamed with Microsoft’s MSN Search Web service to provide search results for the government domain. The MSN Search Web service includes extensive coverage of government documents in its index as well as a rich set of filtering-related operators. Vivísimo will leverage its Velocity software and Clusty Web search platforms to selectively crawl and metasearch federal and local government-related content and cluster the combined MSN Search and Vivísimo results for easier navigation by FirstGov users.”

  • Federal Computer Week reports that the contract is for $1.8 million annually, and the new search feature will be available spring 2006. The project is planned to expand to index website content from state, local and municipal sites as well.
