[Brad]

www.wp.pl I can't read Polish so I can't tell if this is a meta-search engine or not. It appears to use either FAST or Google.

search.virgilio.it/search/home/index.html Looks like you can select between a directory and Google.

[bluelook]

Hi everyone,

In Portugal:

Oninet.pt
Vizzavi.pt
IOL.pt

In Brazil:

Bol.com.br ( the biggest portal ) use a mix of Radar.uol.com.br ( uses Google ), AOL and Achei.com.br

Sincerely,

Nuno Oliveira

[startup]

This one was an Ink portal at one time, www.anzwers.com.au/

[Brett_Tabke]

[search.uci.edu...]

[IanTurner]

I suppose we ought to add Looksmart.co.uk as discussed in this thread

[webmasterworld.com...]

[goldrake75]

>> search.virgilio.it/search/home/index.html
>> Looks like you can select between a directory and Google.

Yes, Brad. You are right. Virgilio has a human edited directory, and is also powered by Google.

the other two major italian s.e. instead, inwind.it & arianna.it use Fast search

[heini]

Hello Goldrake75 - welcome onboard!

Right on all three counts - Virgilio goes with Google, while Arianna and inwind have Fast onboard.

Another big italian portal with Google results, national and worldwide, is www.supereva.it

[Brad]

Here another Portugese portal that I found in my stats:
www.sapo.pt/

[bluelook]

Greetings,

Sapo doesn´t use Google´s results. It uses Google´s technology to fetch results from their directory.

Cyas,

Nuno Oliveira

[search.sify.com...]

I like this engine, because it adds links for using the "link: " and the "related:" - function to every listed result site (similar to the former google-driven ilor.com)

So you can easily see what pages link for example to your competitors and if thats the cause why they are on top.

>Sapo doesn´t use Google´s results.

I noticed the Google logo and the English language results.

[pesquisa.sapo.pt...]

[Sathish]

[rediff.com...] (India's Major Portal) use Google's DB.

[bluelook]

Hi Brad,

It only uses Google´s results if you select the mundial ( it means worldwide ) option.
The default search use Google´s technology to search on their directory.
It only jump to "mundial" option, when he doesn´t find enough results on the default search. This happen when you search for any english word. ( Sapo doesn´t allow you to add to their databases sites that aren´t portuguese ).
If you search for webhost, it jumps to "mundial" option and retrieve results from google.
But if you search for the portuguese word for webhost ( alojamento ), it doesn´t serv results from Google, but from the directory of Sapo.

Bye,

Nuno Oliveira
