The searching value of Subsidiarity
So-called "regional" search engines are extremely important for fetching info. Most search engines DO NOT index the most interesting parts of the web: they index commercial over educational sites, 'popular' sites (read sites loved by the zombies) over relatively unknown sites and US sites over European sites. Well, this page should allow you to at least compensate for this last disadvantage.

Euroseek

Euroseek, not bad at all, search for [fravia] (for instance :-) and see how the results are cleverly parsed. Note also the "any region" specific options.

Choose your own language to use with EuroSeek:
Search in in
