It all seems to require a little bit more effort to put into the search to get what I want from DDG while I usually have to put more effort into Google-searches to tell Google that I don't want what it "thinks" that I want - e.g. it "thinks" that I want everything in Spanish and seems to ignore completely that the country of my residence is a multilingual country with at least 4 main languages and many others, which are natively spoken by significant parts of the population. But as soon as I succeed convincing Google that I want English or Dutch or German or Portuguese then I am able to extract what I want. In this line National Geographic is far worse than Google. Just for once try to get an English edition subscription in a country which NatGeo considers Spanish-speaking. Cheers Eike -- Eike Lantzsch ZP6CGE 01726 Asuncion / Paraguay
