usgovsearch
http://usgovsearch.northernlight.com
The National Technical Information Service and Northern Light have released a new search engine for accessing federal government web sites, NTIS documents, and other non-government documents. When this service was unveiled as subscription only, public reaction against paying for a service created at government expense was so strong that NTIS agreed to make it available for free at least until June 1, while the policy implications of the fee-based service are re-assessed. A major advantage of this search engine is that it sorts results into folders, making it easier to review results. The NTIS documents (back to 1964), however, are only citations and abstracts. But it's worth looking at as a one-stop source for federal information on the Internet.
