Dr. Ecommerce,

I am looking for a search engine that is typically Belgium or Dutch.
Can you give me some pointers on this matter (my faith in Yahoo and Lycos is waning)

Thank you and keep up the good work

Harald.

Dear Harald:

I asked my friend and Flemish e-commerce know-it-all, Benny Sintobin of Gifts of Course, for his recommendations. He replies:

"Everything is going fast at the moment, Lycos is aggressive, Looksmart is looking at Europe etc. Also internet service providers such as Tiscali, Skynet (with its French merger with infosource..) seem to take more and more of the traffic flow.

A little old but surely not a bad startingplace for search engines is

The Belgian Top 3 searchengines/portals/directories are
http://www.skynet.be
http://www.advalvas.be
http://www.msn.be

Second tier

All the best,

Dr. Ecommerce
