Project Quaero - Eurocentric Search Engine for France

French President Jacques Chirac yesterday announced plans to help fund a Eurocentric search engine to compete with Google and Yahoo as part of an effort to protect the nation's technological supremacy.

Chirac will be working with French firm Thomson and Deutsche Telekom to develop a "multimedia search engine for the internet." It's called Project Quaero which is Latin for "hard to spell" (also 'to seek') and the full program will be explained in detail later this month.

Ever the ones to rail against US influence, France has already been hard at work on an online digital library to rival that of Google's. The development of a engine is a logical next step.

The new engine will not be created from scratch, but rather built upon "science and technology that already exists in France and Germany." Said Chirac in a speech earlier this year:

"Culture is not merchandise and it cannot be left to the blind forces of the market. We must staunchly defend the world's diversity of cultures against the looming threat of uniformity. It's time to go on the offensive."

Well, their idea is like to create a Community in all European countries to start using QUAERO instead of google or yahoo.

Its a good try... i dont know, time will show results..

That´s why i think EUROPEAN domains can go real good there....
