Google Search Saves the Day
March 1, 2012
According to the Nextgov article “Solyndra Investigation Led to New Search Tool at Energy” Google Search has joined the fight against crime. A “congressional investigation into alleged mishandling of a $528 million Energy Department loan guarantee” to Solyndra caused a data overload for Energy’s Loan Department. Energy workers were trying to provide congressional investigators with the information they needed but their current document search tools simply created even bigger problems. According to Energy Chief Technology Officer Peter Tseronis the searches “resulted in “GS-15s standing at printers hitting print, print, print, copy, copy, copy for emails, attachments, PDFs — information that was just voluminous.” In response to this mounting problem the CTO office joined forces with an outside vendor to help modify their existing Google search system. Users throughout the department then had the ability to index as well as sort through various emails, Word documents etc. Looks like Google Search was ready and saved the day.
