O/T: Mid-east search engines

[yertis]

Since I can't find any informed opinion on this subject anywhere else I'll throw it over to you lot, since you all seem to know all about IT and the interweb. Does anyone know which are the most popular search engines used in the middle east (specifically KSA, UAE, Kuwait)? I've got a client who seems to think I should know this, even though he's there and I'm here.

Use Google, world wide, It is about the bes search engine out there.
Good luck

Hmmm, during my time out there, Altavista was the one I felt was used the most. Why dont you have a look at the UAE newspaper sites, might find some pointers there...

You might also try and get a mail to Mohamed Akkad, I used to work with him and he has a number of inetersting contacts in the Middle East. Address is: [e-mail] www.akkad.org/

EDIT: Mohamed's direct eMail is [e-mail]
