Web Searching and Foreign Languages

Search engines that allow searching in a foreign language or are based in another country do not all work the same way or search the same materials. Web sites in other languages may present different information in their "English" pages than the information provided in another language.  The keyboard and syntax may make a great difference in how you search and the quality of the results.

Check a specific language "web" subject page for more detailed information on how search engines, websites and alphabetic characters work in that language.
