New search engine for FEC website

Finding information on the FEC’s web site just got easier. On March 27, the agency launched an upgraded search engine that provides better, more accurate results than its predecessor.

The new search engine, powered by Google, offers several new features. The key match feature, for example, highlights selected in-demand pages and lists them first in the search results. Other features suggest synonymous search terms and spelling alternatives that may improve results. The new search engine also has an advanced search capability and offers tips on how to search in a Google-based engine.

In addition to the functional improvements, the new search engine also enhances the appearance of the site. While the search field remains in the upper right corner of the FEC’s home page and looks the same as before, the pages it produces have a new look and feel that is more in keeping with the rest of the agency’s site.
