Hi all.

I'm new here :)

Anyone knows where altavista.no get their search results from? Obviously not the same as altavista.com...

Thx!

Hi quantin - Welcome on board on The University of Search Engines. Here you'll find answers to a lot of your questions and much more. The ammount of knowledge here is amazing and it will keep you reading for quite a few hours :)

I believe that Av.no has their own database compared to Av.com.

Av.com search [altavista.com] 34.523 results.

Av.no search [search.no.altavista.com] 43.710 results.

Hope you will find what you're looking for - if not, do post again. We're quite eager to help.

:)

See the Altavista forum [webmasterworld.com] for more details

Velkommen til WebmasterWorld, quantin. Jeg håper at du vil like vårt forum.

The question of different Altavista databases has been discussed on several occasions, most recently here [webmasterworld.com]. Norway shares an international database together with at least the other European countries and perhaps the rest of the world. As Rumbas has pointed out, this database is different from the one at Altavista.com. But if you try the same search in Altavista.se, you should get the same reply.
