C|Net is running an article about a plea from Jean-Noel Jeanneney, head of France's national library, for a European program to mirror Google's plan to scan a bunch of books and make the text searchable online. He's calling for, "the European Union to balance this with its own program and its own Internet search engines," according to C|Net.

Sounds like a good idea, but why push your own Internet search engine? Why not just put the texts online and let the bots sort it out? Could you get a European search engine to fund the scan job?
