Yauba is a new, experimental, Indian search engine that seeks to transform the way people find information online, while providing maximum protection for their safety, security and privacy.

Launched in “early beta/late alpha” mode on February 2009 after stealth development in Bangalore, Delhi, and London, Yauba is based on over 25 years of cutting edge research from the Indian Institutes of Technology, the University of Delhi, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and the University of California at Berkeley.

So, what’s so special about Yauba?

Four things.

Yauba is:

1. Truly Indian.
For most search engines, India is just another distant foreign market. For us here at Yauba, India is our main market. Over the past three years, we have dedicated 100% of our efforts to developing the most powerful Internet search engine in India. Our foundations are deeply rooted in India, and for us, India will always remain our priority #1.

2. Truly Incognito.
If you ever saw exactly how much most search engines actually know about your private details, you would be completely shocked. At Yauba, we completely reject the view that search engines somehow need to keep mountains of data on their own users. Instead, we take the exact opposite approach. We do everything we can to protect the privacy of our users.

3. Truly Intelligent.
Most search engines like to brag about the size of their index. At Yauba, we could not care less. What we care about is intelligence. What do we mean by intelligence? We simply mean the ability to think, process information, and respond like a human being. For example, regardless of the size of their index, most traditional search engines still cannot come close to replicating an ordinary human being’s ability to recognize common sense concepts.

4. Truly Intuitive.
Of course, all of this advanced artificial intelligence technologies would not matter at all if it was difficult to navigate Yauba’s search results. Fortunately, simplicity and intuitiveness are two areas where Yauba really shines. To put it simply: you do not need any advanced knowledge whatsoever to use Yauba … not even to formulate the most advanced, sophisticated queries.

What’s next for Yauba?
We ultimately hope to make Yauba not only the most advanced search engine in India, but also the most advanced search engine in the world. We invite you to join us on this journey and help us create something truly amazing.
