In this article, we explored the capabilities of search engines for non-English languages. As a test case, we considered four languages: Russian, French, Hungarian and Hebrew. For each of these languages we tested three general search engines: AltaVista, FAST and Google and some local search engines. Our results indicate that in the examined cases the general search engines ignore the special characteristics of non-English languages, and sometimes they do not even handle diacritics well. These findings are rather disturbing, since for example Google is very popular in non-English speaking countries as well, and users are either not aware of what they miss when using search tools that do not take into account the structure and the special characteristics of the specific language or have no alternatives but to use these search engines.

The performances of general and Arabic search engines were compared based on their ability to retrieve morphologically related Arabic terms. The findings highlight the importance of making users aware of what they miss by using the general engines, underscoring the need to modify these engines to better handle Arabic queries.Nous avons comparé la performance de moteurs de recherches généraux et arabes en fonction de leur capacité à repérer des termes arabes morphologiquement reliés. Les résultats mettent en évidence l’importance de sensibiliser les usagers sur ce qu’ils manquent en utilisant des moteurs de recherche généraux et soulignent le besoin de modifier ces moteurs pour obtenir un meilleur traitement des requêtes arabes.
