Egerin

Egerin is a web search engine. It is the first search engine in Kurdish language and is focused on providing a fully functional search and blog system, including videos, image, and news for the Kurds.

The Concept
Egerin was founded by Kawa Onatli, a Kurdish businessman who lives in Sweden. Onatli wanted to provide an alternative to the big search engines that do not have the Kurdish language available, targeting a wide audience of between 26 and 34 million Kurds.

Technology
The search technology used is Solr with the rest of the technology stack being PostgreSQL, Scrapy and Python web frameworks.
