Govbot Government Search Service Discontinued

Thank you for visiting the Govbot search site (http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/Govbot).

The Govbot site ceased operation on May 1, 2001.
Some alternate sites for reliable Government Information are provided below.


The University of Massachusetts Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) was the first site in the nation to make all U.S. federal government web sites available and searchable from one location. The CIIR's search engine, InQuery, has been used to search this U.S. federal government information repository since 1996. The CIIR is now focusing on other information retrieval research areas, so we have discontinued the Govbot service.

There are other sites available for searching Government information. We recommend you start with FirstGov site listed below.

The above site is listed as an informational pointer only. The CIIR does not support or endorse any specific site.
