Davindi[edit]

Davindi was a search engine for searching the open source Kennisnet database. The name is a pun on Leonardo da Vinci's surname and the Dutch word vind which means find in English. It did not crawl the internet, but only gave search results which are vetted by Davindi editors. Apart from text documents, also videos images and sound files could be found. The search engine also gave results from other educational sources such as Kennislink. Davindi gave results from more than 50,000 sources related to primary and secondary education, vocational education and adult education.
