Quaero Starting To Build Momentum
By Doug Caverly
Although the "there" in this case represents more of a starting line than any results, French search project Quaero is indeed "getting there." Reports indicate it's making new hires and planning an important spring meeting.
EU: Quaero Can Receive $152 Million
By Doug Caverly
Over time, references to Quaero have become less and less frequent; it seemed that the French search project was more likely to fade from existence than challenge Google. The European Commission has approved $152 million in state aid, however, so Mountain View might not want to forget about it.
Google France Approaches 90 Percent Share

France and Germany had great plans to take on Google for search engine dominance, but the French will have to go it alone as Germany withdraws from the project.
The French Oxymoron Called Quaero
In January, I wrote about Quaero, a planned European multimedia search engine, the answer to Google and brainchild of the French government.
