A search engine by and for the federal government

The new tech stuff the government has been putting out is legitimately fantastic. login.gov is probably my favorite sign-in experience, maybe slightly behind Google's (and considerably ahead of Apple or Microsoft's).

Here&#x27;s the repo:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GSA&#x2F;search-gov">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;GSA&#x2F;search-gov</a>

Why would a .gov Web site like this have dependencies on, and information leaks to, googletagmanager.com and crazyegg.com?

If you click through to sign up, there is a notice that it is for official use only (FOUO).

The search results aren&#x27;t very good<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tinyurl.com&#x2F;seargovresults" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tinyurl.com&#x2F;seargovresults</a>

A cool thing. In Germany this would not be possible. EVB-IT Cloud contracts, DSGVO and other legal stuff slow down everything and costs are exploding. No inhouse ressources available double the trouble

Not new, 2010 maybe? But even more ingrained as part of government&#x27;s 2023 <i>Delivering A Digital-First Public Experience</i> guidance to all agencies. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;omb&#x2F;briefing-room&#x2F;2023&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;fact-sheet-building-digital-experiences-for-the-american-people&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.whitehouse.gov&#x2F;omb&#x2F;briefing-room&#x2F;2023&#x2F;09&#x2F;22&#x2F;fact...</a>

The gov usually contracts out its coding. Waa this made contractors under the federal gov or actual gov employees?
