EuroSeek is the "European Search Engine for Europeans". The user interface is available in twenty two European languages, you can limit the links search to one of those languages and you can limit the search to specific Europena countries, regions, and domains. The content of the search database is also heavily oriented towards European web sites. It also indexes and stores entire documents in their original language and localized fonts including special European language fonts. EuroSeek claims to be able to index 18 million pages a week, but no information, like the number of pages actually indexed, is provided to support the claim. Freeside also claims that this is the fastest search engine in the world. It does appear to be very fast, but then it is a new and relatively unused service, and the size of the database they are searching is not given. The relevancy ranking of returned results was not as good as Infoseek Ultra or HotBot. Maybe equal to Alta Vista. The service runs on a Sun Ultra Enterprise 4000 server and uses the Roxen Challenger Webserver software which is also in beta test. There are bugs in this service. When I accessed it with Netscape Navigator 1.22 it produced an "internal server error", but you can use NS 1.22 with the Eureka! interface to EuroSeek. When accessed with NS 2.02, it frequently crashed my browser, but so do a lot of other sites. Some Help is offered that explains the search syntax. You can also add a URL to the search engine for use later by its crawler. A brief list of facts is provided about the service, but a more complete description of EuroSeeks functionality is provided on the developers home page. A What's New page contains very little that is new at this time. The EuroSeek Team has a Feed Back page or you can reach them by E-Mail. (2/16/99)
