Search Engine Zoeksite.nl A Real Dutch Treat!
Every Saturday on AltSearchEngines, we continue our trip “around the World in 80 weeks” in search of international search engines. To see where we have been, just click the “Global” tab.
Are you bilingual? If you are, please consider joining our growing team of international volunteers. This information on search engines from the Netherlands, for example, was provided by a volunteer, the creator of MusicMachine and FileQuest and Index of/. I encourage you to take a look at each of these.
Knowing nothing about the Netherlands, I looked it up in Wikipedia. The Netherlands is the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which consists of the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba. It is a constitutional monarchy, located in Western Europe, and bordered by the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east.
The Netherlands is often called Holland. This is technically incorrect, as North and South Holland in the West are only two of the country’s twelve provinces.
The Netherlands is popularly known for its windmills, cheese, clogs (wooden shoes), delftware and gouda pottery, dikes, tulips, bicycles, and social tolerance. (Source: Wikipedia)
Of the 15 search engines that I was given, I decided not to do the ”Top 10 Dutch Search Engines” because I liked this one so much more than the others. Zoeksite.nl is a very well organized Meta Search Engine. The images below are only part of the menus available, and the mixture is so comprehensive, that even I could figure out what they do.
For example, the first one is for the Netherlands, Google.nl and so on. The next is Belgium, Google.be, etc. Then International choices. One is for MP3s, another for images or news.
This is a real find, and this is why we travel every Saturday to other countries. If you would like to be our guide for your native land, please email me at: Charles@ReadWriteWeb.com.
