Tamil New search engine : Searchko.in

www.searchko.in is a Tamil portal which has been developed by students and researchers of Anna University, Chennai which encompasses a dedicated search engine in Tamil.

Searchko uses information retrieval (IR) technology for searching the Tamil content in the web. The website uses several types of natural language processing technology to get good and relevant output, said Dr L. Sobha, one of the research members in the Anna University-K.B. Chandrasekar Research Centre (AU-KBC).

The researcher added that ‘’The Internet has about 10 million documents in Tamil and bringing it under one umbrella using IR technology is the aim of searchko. The websites boasts of unique features such as multiple font support, enhancing the query with the help of a morph analyzer, works with a phonetic visual keyboard and spell checker,” the researcher said.
