Searching in TAMIL in Google, Yahoo! etc.

Dears,

 

Greetings!

 

If not aware already, one can search in Tamil also (using Unicode) in search engines like google, yahoo!, msn etc.. And, as far as we know, only websites developed in Unicode will be listed in the search engines. For example, see screen snapshot below for search in tamil in google on 'thamizh menporuL' (தமிழ் மென்பொருள்) and the websites listed. (Unicode has global reach and it is the only font encoding system recognised as the Standard by Microsoft for now and the future. Non-unicode font encoding system however has more local reach since most of the computers in India are still using Win98 [and even Win95 sometimes!] and hence its good for the time-being)
