Currently, most of your online searches are directed towards Google which is universally known to fetch information on anything and everything you’d want to know.

But, what if you were looking for stuff a bit closer to home and something much intricate and detailed?

The Indian government has launched a search portal for all the ’sarkari’ information you’d want to look for online. We checked and found that the website is currently live at goisearch.nic.in.

The website/search engine goisearch.nic.in specifically caters to searches related to government portals and all services that come under the umbrella of the Indian government. Most of your searches on the website will re-direct you to links on government portals and other government websites.

There is also an Advanced Search option on the page which helps you create specific searches if required.
