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 that intends 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.
