In this post, I will discuss a new search engine called Accoona.
Accoona is the the new kid on the block in the world of search engines dominated by Google. It has a nice simple interface like the one that won the hearts of so many for Google and made Yahoo's cluttered page look bad. A wise man once said: "Fools learn from their own mistakes, the wise learn from other people's mistakes". Anyway, you can search the web, for businesses, and the news. I would like to see an image search similar to Google's, and that is one of the only things I can find lacking. One thing I won't miss when searching with Accoona is the "Sponsored Links" at the top. Bottom Line: I highly reccommend this new search engine, and if you like Google you should give it a whirl.

One major problem
Unicode characters. You may not know this, but each accented character is made up of two parts:
The letter
And the accent.
Try searching for 'libertà' (Alt-0224 for the à)
In this case it is a lower case a followed by a grave. As you can see, Accoona shows it as two ?? (question marks).
This is a major problem.

It shows up fine for me, not sure what you are talking about.

Depends
If you used à or you actually press Alt-0224
