About Search Punjab
Search Punjab is a small, hand-curated search engine for everything Punjab — from Chandigarh to the diaspora abroad. Instead of crawling the entire web, our editors review and add websites one at a time, so every result you see has actually been looked at by a person, not just picked up by a bot.
To make it easy to find genuinely useful, Punjab-relevant websites and information — for people in Punjab and for Punjabis around the world — through a small index that's built by editors, not by an algorithm running alone.
To become the trusted, go-to starting point for anything Punjab-related on the web — a search engine small enough to stay careful about what it includes, but complete enough to matter, wherever in the world someone with a connection to Punjab happens to be searching from.
Search Punjab isn't trying to be a smaller mirror of Google. It's a micro search engine — deliberately small, deliberately curated. Every website in the index has been reviewed and approved by an editor before it goes in; there's no open crawler indiscriminately indexing anything it stumbles across.
The trade-off is a smaller index than a general-purpose search engine — but one where relevance and quality come first. If it's in Search Punjab, a person looked at it and decided it belonged.
A handful of principles guide what makes it into the index and how it's described once it's there:
Every website is chosen by an editor — nothing is added automatically by a crawler roaming the open web.
A site goes live only after someone has reviewed it for relevance and quality, not the moment it's submitted.
Most of the descriptions you see beside a result are written or edited by a person, not auto-generated snippets.
We typically add a site's homepage, plus the inner pages that are genuinely relevant to Punjab — not the whole site by default.
