This paper reports the outcomes of a study that evaluated the effectiveness of search functions compared to other navigational tools available on government websites. The study used an observation exercise triangulated with a post observation interview. Results suggest that while there wasn\u27t any significant difference in effectiveness between search functions and other navigational tools, the skill with which the search function is implemented and participants\u27 familiarity with the website, are fundamental determinants of users\u27 opinions. Implications of the findings for research and practice are discussed.<br /
