Find U.S. Government Data

The same data as catalog.data.gov, different search experience.

Traditional search uses exact terminology to find results: "apple" matches "apples", "oranges" match "orange". This works well if you know the exact terms to look for. If you don't know the exact words, if you made a typo, if you are looking for something that is only conceptually related: at best you find wrong results; at worst you find nothing.

This search blends both: the traditional exact terms search and the related concepts search. Searching for "childhood poverty stats" may return no results in the traditional search, but finds "Number of children in poverty" in this search, even though the record doesn't contain the word "stats" or "childhood".
