The portal FirstGov (now USA.gov) was established as a joint project of the federal government and the private FedSearch Foundation, which oversees the site's search engine. Funded in 2001 and 2002 from the General Services Administration (GSA) and 22 federal agencies, FirstGov is managed by GSA's Office of FirstGov. The Web site provides a search engine that uses an index of Web pages government-wide as well as a directory of commonly accessed information resources and services.
