# AOL

AOL supports WEB, image, and video search. Internally, it uses the Bing index.

AOL doesn’t seem to support setting the language via request parameters, instead the results are based on the URL. For example, there is

- search.aol.com for English results

- suche.aol.de for German results

However, AOL offers its services only in a few regions:

- en-US: search.aol.com

- de-DE: suche.aol.de

- fr-FR: recherche.aol.fr

- en-GB: search.aol.co.uk

- en-CA: search.aol.ca

In order to still offer sufficient support for language and region, the search keywords known from Bing, `language` and `loc` (region), are added to the search term (AOL is basically just a proxy for Bing).
