Welcome to AltSearchEngine’s “Around the World in 80 Weeks”

 

Every Saturday on AltSearchEngines, we travel the globe in search of International Search Engines. In case we have already been somewhere that you are interested in, here’s a quick review of our weekly jaunts:

Russia

India

Iceland

Yemen

Czech Republic

“Parlez-vous Frances?”

We’re not interested in machine-translation here, but if you’re a human; in France or any other country, we are looking for volunteers who meet two criteria: 1) An interest in Search Engines, and 2) Bilingual. Contact me at: Charles@ReadWriteWeb.com

So, today we’re off to France, and with some help from our friends at BlogDimension, we have the Top 10 French Alternative Search Engines (my choices - and in random order).

1) Blog Ouaf! A whimsical Blog search engine


2) Kart00, a Discovery model and Search Engine of the Month! / and the UJIKO spaceship.

 

3) WASALive Features Blogs, News, Images, and Audio; the homepage features a constantly updated tag cloud of frequently searched keywords on the Web.

4) Exalead; a rising start amongst the Alternative Search Engines!

5) BlogDimension, “The Web 2.0 search engine,” allows you to search for Blogs, Micro-blogs, Forums, News Feeds, Images, Audio, and Videos; and they just added their English version to the site!

6) Voila The largest alternative search engine in France.


7) Widepress A powerful news search engine


8 ) Aproposde An experimental search engine that lets you configure your homepage.


9) Casteropod A podcast search engine, or recherche de podcasts, as we like to say!


10) dir.com A general search engine.


Please join us next Saturday when we travel to Italy in search of more alternative search engines! Au revior!
