Inside Guruji's Cove

Is Guruji.com, the alternative?

"...A company could “stump” Google, the search engine giant - particularly in a foreign market - and Guruji.com intends to do exactly that..."

These are the opening lines of Doug Caverly's story on Guruji.com, India's first search engine. Doug Caverly is a renowned technology journalist who writes on the latest in the field of Internet and search engines.

He goes on to say that - "The powerful backers that support Guruji could also put it in a position to do well".

He concludes by saying, "If you happen to live in India, or have an interest in the region, Guruji.com might be worth a look.  It promises to offer a more focused view (in a geographic sense) than Google, and, considering some of the things Eric Schmidt has said recently, it may be time to find an alternative to the American engine, anyway."

We know we haven't arrived yet, but such words of encouragement do help us to push the peddle harder. Thank you Mr.Caverly.

Guruji launches India’s first Tamil and Malayalam Search Engine

Alright, let us correct that to – Guruji launches world’s first Tamil and Malayalam search engine. I know it may sound a bit pompous but we can barely curtail our excitement about taking our next step towards making the internet more usable (and searchable) for the Indian internet users.

The Tamil and Malayalam search engines are available at –

Tamil - http://www.guruji.com/ta/

Malayalam - http://www.guruji.com/ml/

You can input your search query either through the on-screen keyboard or phonetically using your computer keyboard.

We will continue to invest in bettering the way we understand Indian language search queries as well as the way in which we gather Indian language content from the World Wide Web.

However, we need your support to make us better everyday. So please do let us know your feedback on our Tamil and Malayalam search engine by writing to us at feedback@guruji.com

You have a great day.

Team Guruji
