It is sad they were not able to advance and work further on this project. Now , most countries have search engines with their native language- Spanish, Italian, German, Hebrew, Chinese, etc.
It is either that globalization wave had swallowed the investor on this project, so they feel it will not bring them any material benefit, or they have not got real support from others. This project needs real support and cannot be done by one source only.

But if they are following the 5 years plan of Arab governments:) this will take more 15 years at least.

Hi everybody,

It is now Feb 2008 since this project was suppose to launch but I don’t see any progress from both sides. I hope everything is going as planned.

Thanks

As for the ability or inability to comprehend or implement the algorithm, then I don’t think that is much of a problem. The main issue might be to agree on a certain code of values or conduct, since the Arab World is so diversified. You have extremely liberal, un-Islamic countries like Lebanon and Tunisia, and then you have the more Extremist societies, not countries, within the Gulf.

Another issue might be, the quality of the editors put in place. Google has some good editors put in place to filter things out. With the many slang forms of Arabic, these days… It might be hard to find the appropriate editors to categorize things within their own respective areas.

We did a review on it, check it out:

I don’t think they have any idea how to implement such algorithm.

It’s an interesting subject to have Arabic Search engine, but will they be able to run Arabic Adsense ads on the publisher’s web sites and how are they going to address the relevancy of such ads as it’s unlike the English words, an Arabic spilled word can have different meanings.

Anyhow, good luck to them.

Khalid.
