Subject: New Search Tool?


Folks,

The blurb below turned up on one of my periodic educational
email newsletters:


>GOV'T PROVIDES FREE WEB SEARCH
>After launching a new search service for government Web sites
>Monday and then pulling the service hours later due to concerns
>about the fees involved, the Commerce Department says the service
>is now online again, although it is not charging for the service.
>The site (www.usgovsearch.com) initially charged a fee of $15 for
>one day or $30 for monthly access, but the charge was temporarily
>cancelled because it may conflict with the federal policy that
>all government information be unrestricted to the public.  Renee
>Edwards, a spokeswoman for the National Technical Information
>Service, which jointly developed the site with Northern Light
>Technology, says the search engine will be available for free
>while the government reviews its policy of unrestricted
>information.  (Associated Press 05/19/99)


So, just for grins I visited the site and tried a search on
"UFO" Some interesting stuff turned up. Just for example, here
was the first site found on the list:

>1% - Directories & Lists:  UFO UFO ultra high frequency
>     (UHF) Follow-on Satellite System JP 1-02 ... 03/19/98
>     Military site:  http://www.dtic.mil/doctrine/jel/doddict/
>     acronym/u/04129.html

Naturally, this URL wasn't accessible to peons like myself :-)

In any case, try it out; who knows what might turn up?
