OzSearch AU

OzSearch was under scheduled maintenance at the time of testing, so we were unable to comment on all of the search engine's features and options. However, it was still possible to conduct searches at this time. OzSearch is Australasian, covering Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand. There is no option to search the entire Web.

OzSearch should be used for basic single-keyword searches only. There were some advanced search options, though these were buried deep within the help menu, after scrolling to the very bottom of the home page. Search operators like + and - are supported, although this made no difference to the results.

OzSearch suggests the use of quotation marks to search for phrases, but this narrowed the search so much that no results were generated when we searched for "online mortgages". When we did get results, we were annoyed to find that only some of the results had their URLs listed. Our natural-language query was even less successful, with only the most common words--"what" and "does"--yielding any results. In the end, we found that even OzSearch's provision of search operators didn't seem to help the engine come up with many results.
