First Christian search engine launched in Russian Internet

The first Christian Russian-based search engine wwjd.ru was launched on the 1st of September!

The name of the web-site wwjd.ru was formed from abbreviation of an English phrase "What would Jesus do?" that became popular in the United States in 1890s as a personal motto for thousands of Christians.

At present there are about two thousand web-sites in the index base of the search engine, but it is planned to add to the base up to 50 000 of all confessions’ resources by the end of 2009, what will give the possibility to cover the whole Christian Internet of Commonwealth of Independent States and Baltic countries.

“We check all sites that had applied in order to be placed in the catalogue and addition to the search index. In our base will be included resources connected to Christian thematic only,” say the developers of the Christian search engine.

At present, besides search services, wwjd.ru has its own Christian mail service with 7 Gb disk space for each account, news block of all Christian confessions and its own 12 rubrics catalogue. There is also a Christian TV-online service.

There is an Orthodox Iskomoe.ru search engine in Russia, launched in 2004 but there has never existed a complete Christian search engine. The practice of the existence of similar search engines shows that a subject search engine has an advantage over global Google.com, as it gives the possibility to find necessary information for target groups quicker. Even if the search request is not fully connected to Church thematic the result page will show only web-sites that represent Christian point of view on different search topics, what makes the search of necessary information much easier.
