India's search engine, built where it's used.

123Khoj is a search engine made in India, for the searches Indians actually run every day — train timings, exam results, cricket scores, job openings, weather, and the hundred other small things people look up between the ones that make the news. Instead of trying to be a smaller copy of the giants, we've focused on doing the everyday Indian search well, quickly, and without noise.

Mission

To give India a search engine of its own — one that understands the shape of an Indian query, indexes the sites Indians actually rely on, and returns an answer without burying it under results meant for a global audience.

Vision

To grow into a search engine millions of Indians reach for by habit, not novelty — reliable enough for daily use, and Indian enough to get the context right the first time.

How 123Khoj works

123Khoj runs its own automated crawler, which continuously discovers and indexes publicly available web pages, respecting each site's robots.txt along the way. Rather than a hand-picked directory, this gives us a broad, constantly growing index — refreshed as the web itself changes, without waiting on manual review for every new page.

When you search, we match your keywords against that index and rank results by relevance — the same basic idea behind most search engines, tuned here for the kind of queries an Indian audience actually types.

What we focus on

Built for Indian queries

From railway PNR checks to board exam results to regional weather, our ranking is shaped around the searches that matter most to people searching from India.

Automated, always-on indexing

Our crawler runs continuously, so new pages and updated content make their way into results without needing a person to manually add every site.

Respect for site owners

We honour robots.txt directives, and any website owner who'd rather not be crawled or indexed can opt out or reach out to us directly — see our Contact page for details.

Fast, uncluttered results

No unnecessary redirects or bloated pages between you and your answer — just a results page that loads quickly and gets out of your way.

A growing index, every day

Our crawler adds and refreshes pages continuously, so the index you search against today is a little larger and a little fresher than it was yesterday.

No pretending to be something we're not

We're a young, independent search engine, not a global search giant. We'd rather be honest about our size and keep improving than overstate what the index currently covers.
