Navigating government bureaucracy is not easy, but it may become faster with Google Inc.'s new search site for U.S. federal, state and local government. Google U.S. Government Search, http://usgov.google.com, was launched on Thursday by the search leader. Google said the site should make finding U.S. government information easier for government employees and contractors. For example, a search of the word "highway" on the site returned links to the Federal Highway Administration and the California Highway Patrol. Another for "Iraq" returned links to Library of Congress documents and The World Factbook, a collection of country profiles published annually by the Central Intelligence Agency. The site can be personalized and also offers news from the White House, the armed forces and even provides a weather report for Washington, D.C. It is the latest in a series of specialized content sites developed by Google, which launched a search engine devoted to Shakespeare on Wednesday. Copyright 2006 Reuters Limited.
