Iran-Made Search Engine Developed Specifically for Persian-Language Users
“The search engine implemented in our company can be a good supplement for foreign engines as it can be used both offline and online,” said Mehdi Amani, a member of the board of directors of the technological company.
Noting that the latest news are also provided to the user by the search engine, he said, “The search engine has been developed specially for the Persian language and its dialects; and therefore, the Kurdish and Lori dialects and other different dialects can be searched.”
“The most important advantage of this search engine is the development of the Persian language, and if the search engines which have been developed by the knowledge-based companies and private sector are supported, it can be a step forward,” Amani said.
Domestic search engines could greatly help save the internet bandwidth costs in Iran. These search engines could greatly help the Persian speaking community to find more locally specific searches.
Since a couple of years ago, Iran’s government has been supporting a number of locally developed search engines in hopes of gaining some of the traffic going to giant search engines.
