Yes, even the French are start-up savvy. One of the latest and more promising French offerings is called Mozbot. Mozbot is a search engine that was a product of three friends and three companies: Abondance, Brioude Internet, and Raynette. Their combined background in search led to the creation of what was first known as Reacteur.com and then later Mozbot. Mozbot joined with Google and actually uses the same search results as Google but with several key differences. For example, Mozbot displays results from the default English web whereas Google searches the worldwide web by default. Mozbot also displays page thumbnails, definitions of terms, related words, statistics, , similar pages and history among other features. You can personalize the interface colors. It’s Google, but enhanced.

“Mozbot was previously called Reacteur.com. Its initial orientation, when it was created in 2003, was as a laboratory for ideas related to searching the Web for information. It allowed us to test many search functionalities over the months and has led to us having a better understanding of how search engines work. We take this opportunity to warmly thank our early partners who were a great help during this period: Espotting (sponsored links), Exalead and Dir.com (Web links).”
