Swisscows is a web search engine launched in 2014, a project of Hulbee AG, a company based in Egnach, Switzerland.[1][2] It uses semantic data recognition that gives faster answers to queries and claims to not store users' data.[3][4][5] Swisscows also deems itself family-friendly, with explicit results entirely omitted.[3][6][7] The engine's servers are based in underground data centers under the Swiss Alps, and geographically outside of EU and United States .[8]
Swisscows uses Bing for web search, but has also built its own index for the German language edition.[9][7] It also has shopping search, music search (powered by SoundCloud), and a language translator powered by Yandex.
History
Swisscows was founded in 2014 by Andreas Wiebe.[7]
As of 2018, there were 20 million monthly search queries, according to Hulbee CEO, Andreas Wiebe.[10]
In January 2021, the company launched TeleGuard, a messaging app that intends to focus on privacy and data protection.[11]
