The phrase is Finnish, and its meaning is "search and links." Here's
my reasoning for the translation (I don't speak or read Finnish
myself).
The phrase is contained on this Web page:
Haku & Linkit
http://elisa.net/haku/
I recognized the language on that site as Finnish, and my subsequent
search strategy confirmed both the language and the meaning of the
words.
First. the Web page linked above contains a list of links under the
heading "Linkit." To confirm the meaning, I then performed this
Google search using the terms "linkit" and "finnish":
linkit finnish
://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=&q=linkit+finnish
That search turned up many references that establish beyond a doubt
that "linkit" means Internet "links" in Finnish. Here's just one
example of a hit from that search:
"Suomi-linkit (Finnish Links)"
University of Turku: Linkit
http://www.hum.utu.fi/mediatutkimus/linkit.html
As for the word "haku," I established its meaning initially with the
use of a Finnish-English translation tool:
Websters Online Dictionary: Translation: Finnish: Haku
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/finnish/haku
For confirmation, I then performed a simple Google search using the
term "haku," and one of the top results was an MSN search page in
Finnish, which is prominently labeled "Haku":
Search: MSN: Haku
http://search.msn.fi/
Finally, the Finnish-English translation tool I used earlier confirmed
that the word "ja" means "and" in Finnish:
Websters Online Dictionary: Translation: Finnish: Ja
http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/translation/finnish/ja
So, as I stated at the outset, the phrase "haku ja linkit" is Finnish
and it means "search and links."
I am glad to have been able to find the answer for you promptly. If
anything is unclear, please ask for clarification before rating the
answer.
