Quaero能否出台挑战Google

（单词翻译）

In April of 2005, Jacques Chirac and the German Chancellor¹ at the time, Gerhard Schröder, announced plans to spend over a billion euros on a joint² French-German search engine to compete with the American company Google. The project would be called Quaero, which is Latin for "I seek." After Angela Merkel replaced Schröder, the new German government never announced support for Quaero, and they have just announced that they are pulling out from the project. System architects from the two countries could not agree on the basic design of the search engine, with the French engineers planning on a multimedia³ search engine while the Germans preferred a greater focus on searching through text. The French team plans to continue work on the search engine.
