Indian search engine Guruji.com, has launched a search option for the Gujarati speaking community. Search in Gujarati will make it easier for users to search for terms typical to the Gujarati dialect. Spoken by about 46 million people worldwide, Gujarati is the twenty third most spoken language in the world and is one of the fifteen official languages of India. Guruji.com also has searches in Malayalam, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu covering a range of specific content – news, entertainment, travel, astrology, literature, business, education and more. "With internet usage gaining rapid popularity in India, removal of language barrier will further hasten the growth of regional language search in the country. The increasing adoption of Internet in B and C cities, are causing more and more Indians to adopt and explore newer opportunities by participating in this growing medium," said Anurag Dod, Co-Founder and CEO, Guruji.com. "Search is no longer viewed from a macroscopic level. The current trend is vertical search, which gets down to a microscopic level, whether it is a local content search or local language search. With the Gujarati launch, we aim to fulfill the information needs of the western region", added Gaurav Mishra, Co-Founder and COO, Guruji.com.

I know only few words of gujrati that i have been hearing in movies "Kem che , Mazame chey " something of this sort
I was trying to figure that out also because after I submitted my site their auto reply said that if my site was not an Indian site it may not be considered, but I thought then why have the default engine in English as it is not the primary language of India?
Good site for Gujarati people. I have seen and I like it very much. Hope more and more GUJAATI people will use this site.
