Swisscows is a search engine launched in 2014, a project of Hulbee AG, a company based in Egnach, Switzerland.^[1][2]

History

Swisscows was founded in 2014 by Andreas Wiebe.^[3]

As of 2018, there were 20 million monthly search queries, according to Hulbee CEO, Andreas Wiebe.^[4]

In January 2021, the company launched TeleGuard, a messaging app intended to focus on privacy and data protection.^[5]

Operation

Swisscows uses semantic data recognition that gives faster answers to queries and claims to not store users' data.^[6][7][8]

Swisscows also deems itself family-friendly, with explicit results entirely omitted.^[6][9][3] The engine's servers are based in underground data centers under the Swiss Alps, and geographically outside of EU and US.^[10]

Swisscows uses Bing for web search, but has also built its own index for the German language edition.^[11][3] It also has shopping search, music search (powered by SoundCloud), and a language translator powered by Yandex.
