Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

A federal judge ruled in favor of a claim by Google that an Interior Department procurement procedure had favored Microsoft. The case involves procurement of an upgrade to the department’s e-mail system. U.S. Federal Claims Court Judge Susan Braden issued a preliminary injunction this week, ruling that department documents had “failed to comply” with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The two documents came from the agency’s chief information officer, circumventing line authority to the secretary or the secretary’s deputy and reversed the roles of the CIO and the assistant secretary of policy, management and budget, the ruling said. Neither document “is accompanied by a proper justification or appropriate approvals.” The Interior Department’s intent to award a contract to Microsoft also violates the Competition in Contracting Act, the court said. Without a preliminary injunction, the award will “achieve organizational lock-in for Microsoft and cost Google the opportunity to compete."
