Ison Search
Ison Search (search.isonai.com) is a curated Indonesian search engine. It stands on its own as a public search engine, and also serves as a grounding source for the IsonAI assistant on Indonesian topics.
What sets it apart
- Indonesian content focus with credibility tiering: government sites, trusted media, encyclopedias, and academic sources are prioritized above the general web.
- Combined search — keyword and meaning (semantic) — so it understands Indonesian synonyms and typos.
- Spam filtering and continuous quality curation.
- Privacy-first: no user tracking, no ads or tracking pixels; favicons are served self-hosted; query logs are stored anonymously with automatic deletion.
Features on the results page
- Knowledge panel for recognized entities.
- Real-time currency exchange rates.
- Concise AI-synthesized answers with source quotations.
Scale
Ison Search indexes millions of curated Indonesian web pages, with an emphasis on trusted sources and content freshness. The service is in public alpha and still under active development.
Relationship with IsonAI chat
When you ask about Indonesian topics in chat, IsonAI can refer to the Ison Search index, which prioritizes authoritative local sources — making answers more accurate and cited to the right sources. Global search is still used alongside it for international topics.
For site owners
The Ison Search crawler identifies itself with a clear user-agent and respects robots rules. Webmaster information is available at search.isonai.com/bot.
Limits
- Coverage is focused on the Indonesian web; foreign-language queries on non-Indonesian topics are a better fit for global engines — inside chat, IsonAI combines both automatically.
- As a still-growing service, coverage of specific domains keeps expanding.
