When grammar is not part of a decisive split, logic takes over. The crux of the matter is to arrive what will be starting late next year? Is it the launch of the website or the posting on it or the easy searchability? Launching it now and waiting until late next year either for posting or for easy searching may not make logic. But, A says the website will be easily searchable early next year. Therefore, it is difficult to digest that A, B, C or E could be the intended choice. However, D obviates this doubt by creating a comma +verb+ing modifier, thereby rendering it to modify the nearest previous clause whose subject is the government and its action namely posting. If I have to, I 'll put my two cents on D.

Hi eski,
First this is not a GMAT question for sure because it contains two sentences. In GMAT you will get only one sentence.
All the choices look grammatically correct to me. (A) and (D) are the best ones, but (B) makes a slight change in the original meaning, so (A) the original sentence is the best one.
A. that will be easily searchable starting late next year
Clear and concise
B. that might be easily searched from starting later next year
grammatically correct, but changes the meaning in its use of might. "form" seems to be redundant and can be dropped.
C. that will be searched easily starting late next year
Clear and concise but a subtle change in meaning. In fact (A) and (C) are very close answer choices; GMAT will not throw such close answer choices as this matter could be debatable.
D. and such data will be easily searchable, starting late next year
The original sentence says "website" will be searchable, but (D) says "such data"; not much difference, but still (A) express the thought clearly and concisely. The use of comma is inappropriate and changes the meaning drastically. The sentence will mean that the "posting of data" will take place starting next year, but the original sentence says that the "website" will be searchable "starting next year"
E. and such data would be easily searchable starting late next year
Same as above but this choice is better than (D)
Hope that helps,
Vercules
