I and a friend write a search engine blog in Swedish called Internetbrus. We have been covering global and Swedish search engines continually since march 2001 writing a couple pf posts per week. Some of our articles have been translated into English and been posted on Pandia.com. We both work at university libraries. Anyway, the top 10 selection here is maybe not so representative. Some of these I have not even heard of. The most used SE apart from Google would be Eniro.se. They also have the most extensive Swedish news search engine. Sesam.se is a newer addition but maybe the second most important, also with a good news SE. Picsearch.se is a global image SE which have been at various times been licensed to Microsoft, Ask, Lycos and has lots of contracts in different countries. Hitta.se has many users but is mostly for phone numbers and company search and Eniro does that too. Frisim is another but much smaller free news SE whereas Observer and Retriever are news services you have to pay for. I don't think they fit in a list like this because they are not free. If so there are others that could be mentioned. A good place to search for Swedish press releases is Newsdesk.se. Blocket.se is where you buy and sell stuff you want to get rid of in Sweden. Bokfynd is one of several book price comparison services but a good one, compricer.se is another one. Any list of Swedish search engines should incude the SUNET web directory which has been around since 1991, the most comprehensive web directory in Sweden. It is now available here: katalogen.kthnoc.se. The Directory of Open Access Journals (doaj.org) is produced in Sweden and is an important academic resource but has no Swedish focus. Siteseeker is a SE company with advanced solutions. We have written a text book in Swedish on Internet Search with one of the owners. BTW an interesting Swedish image search project can be found here http://www.itn.liu.se/media/vinnova/cse.php Concerning blog SEs Twingly is one of maybe 10 rather good Swedish blog search engines/directories but a hot one at the moment. I can gladly answer questions about the Swedish SE scene and explain words but I don't have the time too review the ones on the top-10 at the moment. Lars Våge Hi,

Anyway, the top 10 selection here is maybe not so representative. Some of these I have not even heard of.
The most used SE apart from Google would be Eniro.se. They also have the most extensive Swedish news search engine. Sesam.se is a newer addition but maybe the second most important, also with a good news SE.
Picsearch.se is a global image SE which have been at various times been licensed to Microsoft, Ask, Lycos and has lots of contracts in different countries.
Hitta.se has many users but is mostly for phone numbers and company search and Eniro does that too.
Frisim is another but much smaller free news SE whereas Observer and Retriever are news services you have to pay for. I don’t think they fit in a list like this because they are not free. If so there are others that could be mentioned.
A good place to search for Swedish press releases is Newsdesk.se.
Blocket.se is where you buy and sell stuff you want to get rid of in Sweden. Bokfynd is one of several book price comparison services but a good one, compricer.se is another one.

I can gladly answer questions about the Swedish SE scene and explain words but I don’t have the time too review the ones on the top-10 at the moment.
