German Search Engines
- Google
Excellent search engine for finding specific combinations
of words in the text of a website. Go to "Language,
Display, & Filtering Options" and set the language
of the pages to be searched to "German," or just enter
a search term in German in order to get primarily
German pages for your results. Currently my
favorite search engine :)
- Abacho
Calls itself a search engine ("Die schnelle Suchmaschine")
but looks like a web catalog. When I tried it, there
was an annoying popup for a dating service.
- Altavista
Deutschland; Altavista

sources and allows searches to be presented according

you.
- Lycos
Deutschland; Lycos
Österreich Irritating sites that load multiple
times before settling on a layout.
- metaspinner
Österreichische Suchmaschine
- PAPERBALL
Looks for current newspaper articles on the topic
you enter. For this purpose, this search engine is
actually significantly better than Google, in my opinion.
- Schnellie.de
Hip metasearch site aimed at younger users
- Suchmaschinen
TV Catalog of search engines worldwide. Click
on "Regional" for search engines focused
on specific regions of Germany, and on "Österreich"
or "Schweiz" for search engines focusing
on those countries. Also includes a section with "search
engine-related news" ["Suchmaschinen Nachrichten"].
- WEB.DE
Link lists like this
one

The "official and independent" "Deutschland-Portal,"
commissioned by the "Presse- und Informationsdienst

its "official" nature does seem to limit
the range of links offered.

Great link page created for students at Washington
University St. Louis; organized by topic.

knowledge in subject areas such as politics, culture,

references such as encyclopaedias, dictionaries, statistics
etc. ("Allgemeinwissen"), and practical info such
