This is a page of links to country-specific search engines, and you'll be amazed at how many there are.

It seems like data have not been upgraded for a long time.
As for Poland, about the half of search engines does not exist more.
Anyway, may be usefull for specific needs.
Thanks!

But I tried the 12 links for Poland and they all worked...
The UAE trials resulted in 8 out of 9.
