I have worked on google for long and I find it the best engine. I have tried alta vista and other but they just have the results that are already in google and google have many many more of them.. DO you suggest to search in other engines besides googles also I particularly search for tech questions compture related.. Can you identify any good serach engine for INdian search only?

Hi bharatgautam, Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

We have a forum for the Asia-Pacific [webmasterworld.com] region with a couple of threads about Indian Search Engines. If you have any more information feel free to add what you can.

Search using [yahoo.co.in...]
Make sure you have the "India sites only" option selected.

Hi bharatgautam,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

check out khoj and rediff.

If you add India to your query in Google Search you'll get some good results.

Hiya All!

Just registered here. I have been reading on this forum for quite some time now.

Regarding Indian Search engines:

1) Among the major portals, only Yahoo & MSN provide regional search, which is really of some use.

Most of the so called Indian Search Engines are dying out due to no income/no business model as such.

Do u know of a still functional India specific directory which still works/updates regularly?

Prash.

Hi India_Max,

You are quite right. Most of the India Search Engines are dying. They are not adding any new websites in their database. I hv submitted my sites abt 2 months back in khoj, 123india etc. but no luck.

If anybody knows any of India specific directory which still works/updates regularly please post the name of the same here. Doing that would be gr8 help.

Regards,
Rajesh Kumar
