The Concept
Egerin was founded by Kawa Onatli, a Kurdish businessman who lives in Sweden. Onatli wanted to provide an alternative[3] to the big search engines that do not have the Kurdish language available, targeting a wide audience of between 26 and 34 million Kurds.[4]
Technology
The search technology used is Solr with the rest of the technology stack being PostgreSQL, Scrapy and Python_(programming_language) web frameworks. [5]
