Germany Leaves Quaero To France, To Start Theseus Search Project
Threadwatch points to a PC Advisor report that the euro search engine project Quaero between France and Germany is now being split up.
France will continue developing Quaero to help counter American-based search giants like Google and Yahoo. Germany is to start their own search technology project called Theseus.
The German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology spokesperson said, "We will still see cooperation but in another form, such as workgroups. But the consortium between the German and French governments is over."
