Pipilika (Bengali: পিপীলিকা) was a search engine operated from Sylhet, Bangladesh.[1] The search engine is no longer operating.
It is the country's first and last Bangla search engine developed by the Computer Science and Engineering students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh as a thesis project.[1] It has ability to search both in Bengali and English language. Pipilika is the country's first and only search engine that can search both Bangla and English. The search engine ran roughly until 2021, but is now completely shut down. It searched and automatically characterized Bangla and English newspapers of the country, blog sites, Bangla Wikipedia and government websites. It prioritized Bangla information over English.
It used to have five categories:
- All
- News
- Blog
- Bangla Wikipedia
- National E-Infokosh
The Computer Science & Engineering Department of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet and Grameenphone IT Limited have jointly innovated the Bangla search engine Pipilika.com.[2]
