I don't know if this will help anybody but it looks good to me.

Northern Light Technology has developed an Internet search engine that promises to simultaneously search as many as 3.8 million federal government Web pages, 3 million research documents and millions of articles from commercial publishers. The tool, Gov.search, will be marketed to government and commercial users for a daily fee of $15 or a monthly cost of $30, according to a Washington Post report. The Commerce Department's National Technical Information Service has its own search engine on the FedWorld.gov site, but its searches are generally limited to little more than agencies' home pages. NTIS wanted a broader engine because government Web sites are expanding rapidly.

I've been getting very good results with Google. No frills, but cuts to the bone a lot quicker than AltaVista.
