300,000 searches in just over 7 days. The threshold has meant that Ortigra has

sponsored 3 children in the third world with Child Hope and searches continue

Director Says

"Ortigra is about giving individuals an alternative,

whilst at the same time offering users the ability to make a difference with our

Search & Sponsor mission, we are grateful to everyone who is helping us make

a change in the third world, many just do not have that disposable income that

they once had where donations could be given to charities, but now Ortigra

offers a new way of donating to charity whilst at the same time having a family

safe browsing experience all this is achieved by allowing individuals to change

their browsing habit."

Launched into public beta on the 11

th

June 2012 the search engine has

experienced a large user base in

Europe

and the US. The search platform is

considered family friendly as web indexes are filtered out from the results. The

Search & Sponsor campaign was set-up by Ortigra whereby every 100,000

searches Ortigra will sponsor a child in the third world. Children sponsored will

benefit from education fees & books, food, medical treatments and security for

the next year. Child poverty is still a major issue, with one in six children die

before the age of 5, 10million are on the brink of starvation, and over 4 million

are living with HIV/Aids. The recent milestone in popularity of Ortigra has meant

that 3 children to date are sponsored by the search platform.

"We are dedicated to advancement and offering an

alternative, the web is about innovation and giving people choices, Ortigra is

very committed to offering a more refined and safe search experience, This

means that there is a lot of change to keep up with. It is also crucial to consider

how changes will nourish through into Ortigra's upcoming reputation

comparative to that of its competitors."

The search engine is in development of "oSafe"; a filtering protocol which will

allow users to filter results based upon their belifs and what they deem is

unsuitable, oSafe is not only aimed at families and religious communities but

also businesses who want to increase the productivity of their employees. On

average in the US there is over

$759billion

lost in the economy per year

because of employees spending several hours on social networks. oSafe will

firstly be introduced to organisations across the UK during the start of

September, where schools and employers will have the ability to restrict

website and keywords through the oSafe DNS in real-time.

- Director

"Ortigra started development in Amsterdam back in

2010 as a project with I'mhalal.com the Islamic search platform that gained

popularity over 3million households. Since im'halal withdrew from the market,

for the 3million users we hope that Ortigra will be the alternative who want to

filter out results from their household. We saw a niche not just in regards to

parental additions but for also values that extend to ones belifs. I would like to

stress that Ortigra is against censoring the internet, but our aim is focused in

offering a service for families that sense of security when browsing the web. A

search platform is very much a map, if you can't locate something on a

map; rarely will you navigate yourself to the destination."

The platform is also developing semantic features which will behave in such a

way to improve search accuracy it will understand the users search phrase as a

query rather than a phrase. The company also has a social network on the way

which will enable networking between communities, individuals and businesses.

About Ortigra:

Ortigra started development in

Amsterdam

for the last 18

months ; the company has worked on various technologies and has several

patents pending. Key advances include semantic dynamic reload function,

smart DNS control for institutions and unique compression tool for indexing

search pages. Ortigra first launched in beta on

7th November 2011

with 20,000

active beta users. The company is currently working on a transition in moving

the search platform to 100% clean energy servers, which should take effect on

the 02/07/2012.
