Our Blog

The Public Experience (PX) Portfolio was busy this past year developing better ways to serve agency partners and connect people with their government. 

We asked our teams to share the work they were most proud of in 2024:

Search.gov connects the public with easy access to the government information and services they need, creating a unified search experience across over one-third of federal domains. Our program’s core mission and goals are the same every year, but how did the way people interact with government search change in 2023? 

Most people have probably used search filters on e-commerce sites to select different options to narrow down search results. Now Search.gov is offering the same flexibility to federal websites, giving their users control over the amount of detail they get in their search results.

What is Search.gov?

Search.gov is a search engine built by the government. Our mission is to create a standard search experience across government websites, connecting the public with quick, easy access to the information and services they need. Working in support of federal agencies, we serve about 300 million searches a year for about 2,200 websites across one-third of federal domains.

Starting this month, we’re expanding the scope of the USAGov Blog to share best practices and lessons learned not only from USAGov but also from two other programs that are part of our team: Search.gov and Vote.gov.
