How does the EU not have its own link engine? EU being pathethic not just IP nulling all of silicon valley and their garbage products from the continent.

Eh, there are some search engines in the EU, the notable one I know about is MetaGer, but apparently they had to stop supporting their free, ad-supported service due to Yahoo ending its contract with them. But it's based in Germany and still exists today.

That said, it's a meta search engine and I don't think it has its own index, but who knows, maybe if enough people sign up, they'll work on their own engine some day.
