    Subject: Major Search Services in Government


    There is ongoing work under the E-Government Act to
    prepare recommendations on search interoperability.
    Our interest in search technologies includes database
    query as well as information retrieval, and includes
    facilities for internal government use as well as
    those supporting public access (see draft "Statement
    of Requirements for Search Interoperability" at
    http://www.search.gov/interop/requirements.html )
    
    As part of that work, I am seeking a rough sense of
    how many different search technologies are now in
    common use. If you are aware of such a list of major
    search products/services in use across government
    (especially but not exclusively, the U.S. Federal
    Government), please let me know. I have in mind to
    compile a list as products/services are suggested,
    similar to the attached skeleton HTML page.
