New India Search Engine Launched

Aug. 28, 2008 - PRLog -- The Indian government has established a National Knowledge Commission and powered several major web projects for the citizenry. Several Indian states and local governments have also established major e-governance initiatives and citizen information systems. While significant knowledge about India is now available online, it is still difficult to locate precise web links that contain this knowledge using general purpose search engines. Thus, the need for a specialized India search engine (http://www.opportunitiesfor.biz/india/).

General Search Engines vs. Custom Search Engines:
General purpose search engines search a large database of websites and fetch an even larger number of documents. Their “indexer” then reads these documents and creates an index based on words contained in each document. As the general purpose search engines have gotten broader, so have their search results. Additionally, general purpose search engines routinely index spam sites leading to unreliable results. All this has become increasingly frustrating to search engine users who look for specific information only to find not so relevant results. This is especially true of global business professionals who need accurate data on India. The custom search engines send their spiders out to a highly refined database of websites, relating to a specific area, creating very precise results.

The Inner Working of India Search Engine:
Based on Google technology, the India search engine searches the top 2000+ websites relating to India. Areas of focus include India Cooperatives, Economic Development Agencies, Education Boards, Federal Government, Financial Institutions, Fine Arts, Health Institutions, Media, Industry Associations, Judiciary, Legislatures, Public Sector, Research Development, Sports, State Government and Tourism. The underlying website database is handpicked, so the results are relevant. No spam here. Also there is a mechanism for searchers to suggest additions (http://www.opportunitiesfor.biz/contact-us-form) to the underlying website database to improve the engine’s performance.
