 FCC  LAUNCHES  NEW  WEB  SITE  SEARCH  TOOL 
 The  Federal  Communications  Commission  today  announced  the  integration  of  a  powerful  new 
 commercial-  style  search  engine  into  its  Internet  web  site  at  www.  fcc.  gov.  The  new  search 
 engine  was  tested  on  the  FCC  Wireless  Telecommunications  Bureau  web  site  for  several  weeks 
 before  today’s  integration  throughout  the  FCC  site. 


 The  new  FCC  search  engine  searches  throughout  the  FCC's  web  site,  collecting  information  from 
 web  pages  and  many  types  of  documents  including  Word,  WordPerfect,  Acrobat,  Excel,  and 
 ASCII  Text.  The  new  FCC  search  engine  also  searches  the  Electronic  Document  Management 
 System  (EDOCS).  However,  the  new  search  engine  cannot  collect  information  from  other  FCC 
 databases  and  electronic  filing  systems,  such  as  the  Electronic  Comment  Filing  System  (ECFS). 
 Information  on  searching  those  databases  and  systems  can  be  found  on  the  FCC  Search  Page  at 
 http://  www.  fcc.  gov/  searchtools.  html. 


 Access  to  the  new  search  tool  is  provided  through  a  standard  text  entry  box  and  links  positioned 
 at  the  top  of  the  left-  hand  column  of  most  FCC  web  pages.  It  is  also  available  with  enhanced 
 features  at  http://  search.  fcc.  gov.  To  initiate  a  search,  insert  relevant  words  or  phrases  into  the 
 textbox  and  click  go.  This  initiates  a  search  on  the  FCC  web  site  returning  links  to  all  documents 
 and  web  pages  containing  relevant  information. 


 Consumer  feedback  is  greatly  appreciated  and  will  assist  in  the  Commission’s  continuing  efforts 
 to  improve  public  access  to  FCC  information.
