Google Partners with 4 States for Public Information Search

April 30th, 2007 by Loren Baker, Editor | No Comments

Google has partnered with Arizona, California, Utah and Virginia to help the public information and data available from each state government to become more findable on the Internet.

These partnerships developed as both Google and officials with the four state governments recognized that the public is increasingly turning to search engines like Google to access government services, but that a significant share of the information on state agency websites is not included in its index of information sources on the web.

As a result, many online government services can be difficult for the public to find.

Virginia, Arizona and Utah are both using the Google Custom Search Engine, which Google offers for free to private and public web sites.

More information can be found at Google’s Information for Public Sector Organizations.
