Convera(R) Joins in Empowering FirstGov.gov
Technology Chosen by Vivisimo to Give Federal Government Portal Enhanced Image Search Capabilities

VIENNA, Va., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Convera Corporation , a leading provider of search technologies for professional workers, today announced it has been selected by prime contractor Vivisimo to support the image search at FirstGov.gov, the official web portal of the United States Government (http://www.firstgov.gov/). Convera search technology will be supplementing the image index for FirstGov.gov search, enabling FirstGov.gov to better deliver images in response to the millions of queries made by citizens visiting the portal every year.

"We are very pleased to welcome Convera and their leading search technology to the team supporting Firstgov.gov," said Rebecca Thompson, vice president of marketing of Vivisimo. "Vivisimo is committed to bringing a world class search experience to every visitor looking for information, and in the process making our government more responsive and transparent to its citizens."

The new FirstGov.gov search service delivers a superior, streamlined experience by selectively crawling government documents, web pages and meta search resources and organizing the results into logical categories. Users spend less time navigating in a vast sea of government information, and in a much shorter period of time receive relevant responses to their information queries. The added technology will provide site users access to the over one billion images contained and categorized within the Convera Web index.

"As most are aware, Convera has been delivering search technology to the government market for more than 10 years now and we are extremely pleased to continue building on our relationships within this very important sector," said Kurt Gastrock, chief operating officer of Convera.
