Vietnamese search engines/sites for Vietnamese newspapers

Dear colleagues,

Could anyone offer good experience on using Vietnamese search engines to find materials in Vietnamese newspapers - which search sites are the best?

I have been using Google Vietnam (http://www.google.com.vn/) with reasonable success, and recently have also used diemtin.baamboo.com (that is the right spelling), a search engine that appears on some Vietnamese newspapers (such as Dantri). That has worked quite well, finding a wide range of materials beyond the particular newspaper I'm searching from.

Newspapers that have their own search capability (rather than using Google or Baamboo for their searches) seem to do less well, and usually can search only their sites rather than a broader range of newspapers. The searches on vnexpress.net and laodong.com.vn are examples of this - they find materials on their own sites (some better than others), but not beyond.

Do VSG members have other search engines or sites or other experience to recommend?

I suspect that this will be of fairly broad interest on the list, so feel free to post to the list.

Best wishes.

Mark Sidel

Dear Mark Sidel:

Do you know yet about this link to a lot of websites/links ,for Vietnamese materials from inside Vietnam and overseas:

www.SaigonBao.com ?

There are international sources too: for example, BBC, Radio Free Asia, in Vietnamese languages from Vietnamese language sections of those entities.

Best wishes,

Tai Van Ta
