Vivisimo’s Clusty Government Search Engine
Vivisimo and its Clusty search client launched Gov.Clusty.com today, a service built to search and cluster political news, government information sites, such as FirstGov, think tanks and large, publicly released government documents, such as the 2006 Federal Budget and the 9/11 Report from a single site.
Gov.Clusty.com is powered by Vivisimo’s clustering technology and is designed to help searchers easily navigate the massive amounts of government-related information generated on a daily basis.
Clusty Gov Tab Features:
* Government News: The latest government and politics news is clustered on the Gov Tab home page by default.

* Popular Sources: With a single query, users simultaneously search several popular government sources including FirstGov, The Brookings Institute, The Cato Institute, RAND, DefenseLink and more.
* Government Documents: The Gov Tab provides a one-stop resource for searching specific government documents of popular interest, including the U.S. Government’s 2006 Budget, the Duelfer Report on Weapons of Mass Destruction and the 9/11 Commission report. Clusty will add new documents of popular interest to this archive as they become available.
