The first private Search Engine has been developed in India and ready to be launched on Indian Republic day, 26th January 2021.
Some advance featured in a search engine is also added, the engine has morphological analysis, it can accept Indian language besides English. Once the user types for search, various forms of the same keywords are listed. The search engine is user-friendly and portable for Windows and Linux operating systems.
How well it will work we’ll only be able to tell after a few months of use. But it is really high time that countries started to assert their own identity and presence on the Internet as too many services have been totally US dominated and do not reflect the cultures and languages of 150+ other countries. Hopefully it is the start of a decentralisation and localisation of many services whilst retaining the connectivity between all of them.

how will the crawling work though ?
I can’t find any info about that, I hope it doesn’t just take results from Google or something.
No crawling is a standard operation where a bot goes out a crawls through sites from link to link and indexes them. Anyone can actually build one and decentralised search sites like YaCy also use them, as do the other search engines. See https://www.searchenginejournal.com/anatomy-of-a-search-engine-crawler/2230/. It’s nothing unique to QMAMU.
