STePS (Search the Public Sector) is our groundbreaking information engine through which you can access virtually everything that government publishes onto the web. Powered by Autonomy, STePS responds to natural language queries with precision and accuracy. Unlike keyword searching, STePS uses pattern recognition to provide you with rich conceptual matches to complex queries.

STePS provides a simple way to find information held in web documents published by government, but often held on the ‘deep web’ and with titles that give outsiders little clue to their contents. STePS’ sophisticated search capabilities makes the vast majority of government’s public domain information available for scrutiny – and all from a single STePS point of contact.

GovNet’s own portfolio of publications, including both current and archived features, is also searchable via the service.
