Local Searchengines:
Ilse.nl returned to its previous owners, once a search giant in Holland now becoming a portal. The domain name is now returned in license to 2 of the founders.

Paul.nl is a new local search engine, well not really, its a mashup which uses several search engines, just organizes the results in a different way. It does use some affiliate links though...
