[Reader-list] INDIA'S FIRST LOCAL INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE

The word before algorithm used in press release is proprietory.

Being keenly involved with search engines, one can still assume few
ways of doing this including IP tracking, reverse DNS, content
type/encoding, content weight. My hunch is, its using all of them.

Also one can use some search engine techniques which are also subject
of my FOSS fellowship.  As a sample, word India throws up following
keywords:

'perilous times', 'bombay', 'urdu', 'socialism', 'kashmir',  'travel,
'women', 'reality bites', 'mumbai blasts', 'islam', 'quiddities and
oddities', 'peace', 'dalit', 'iraq', 'liberal', 'chavez', 'religion',
'bill maher', 'war and rumors', 'vande mataram'

Some of the keywords are obvious suspects others are unexpected. If
software can track these complex interrelations, I guess it is
possible to make India specific engine considering they have much
larger index of websites compared to mine.


Hope that answers the query.
