SPUTNIK:SEARCH ENGINE

A part from the history,here the sputnik refers to the new search engine designed by Russia.State-controlled telecoms group Rostelecom plans an Internet search engine named after the Sputnik satellite,Russian government has made move to gain the maximum control over the internet,but a state-backed search engine, to be called www.sputnik.ru would face a severe competition from leading search engine YANDEX which gains 62 percent share market and mostly from U.S web based searching giant GOOGLE.

                                        The new search engine may have to be used by state institutions as a default tool, said Vedomosti, citing sources at Rostelecom and other Internet companies in its report. It has been saying the project had cost $20 million so far.They are trying to hire the devolopers from rivals to work on the search engine project,The project has so far indexed about half of the Russian Internet.

                                "The project may be succeed or not,but i am sure that sputnik takes large amount of time in-order to match with the leading search engine YANDEX and U.S based searching giant GOOGLE"
