Pandia launches new Web search tools

July 2000

From a Pandia press release:

On the 10th of July the Pandia Search Central launched two new additions to its Internet search site: a radio search engine and a people search gateway. At the same time the Pandia Plus Web Directory was given a new and more user-friendly design.

The new radio and TV search engine is developed in co-operation with the TVRadio Network and gives visitors direct access to online radio and TV stations from all over the world. Searchers, who have not already done so, may download free Real Player (TM) or Windows Media Player (TM) plug-ins to turn their computer into a radio.

More and more people are using the Internet to find old friends, look up e-mail addresses of colleagues and acquaintances or to discover their family roots. Pandia People Search is a Web gateway to the best people search engines, e-mail address finders and genealogy sites on the Net.

The Pandia Plus Web Directory now contains more that 2 million websites, hand picked by experts and enthusiasts from the Open Directory Project. Pandia has redesigned the result pages, given them a cleaner and leaner look. With one click, user may transfer queries from the Pandia Plus Directory to the Pandia Metasearch engine, which lets you search several of the major search engines in one go.

The Pandia Search Central is a site devoted to efficient Internet searching. At its core is the Pandia Goalgetter, an Internet search tutorial that is getting increasingly popular among teachers, students, librarians and other powersearchers.

Pandia also offers a free newsletter on Web searching, "Q-cards" that sum up the query syntax of the major search sites, search engine news and more.

Suite101.com has called Pandia "a complete search resource with a compact design that makes all the information convenient and easy to see." In its presentation of Pandia the Scout Report pointed out that "users will benefit a great deal from having so many different resources accessible."

Pandia is owned and edited by P&S Koch of Oslo, Norway.
