Indian-origin Canadian kid claims his search engine is 47 percent more

He has designed a search engine, similar to Google’s search engine and now he is challenging the Google Authority by claiming that the search engine designed by him is as high as 47 percent accurate than that of Google’s, also, he further claims that on an average it gives 21 percent more accurate results each time. The tenth grader Tukrel had developed the new gen Search Engine for none other than the Google’s own Science Fair, 2015 where all students aged 13-18 can submit thier innovative ideas.

For completing the same, Tukrel took few months and assistance from the Python language development environment as well as a spreadsheet program along with Google access.

Sundar Pichai, the new head of search engine giant Google, faced a new competition from a 16-year-old boy. This information was then fed to both Google and his search engine, after which, he compared the results between the two. The teenager has created a personalized search profile for several dummy users who have different interests and web history. “For someone to look at a successful Google product and attempt to go one level up, it’s astonishing”, said Sanjay Ramakrishnan, cofounder of Ice-Cream Labs, and former marketing manager of Myntra.

Tukrel is a student of Holy Trinity School in Toronto, and learned to code in the third grade. He was quoted as saying, “My computer teacher was pretty impressed with the project. I skipped a year in computer science, so they knew I was good, but may be not so good”, said Tukrel, who has put up a link to the test cases online on http://bit.ly/1FYRNxl for anyone to view.

Tukrel hopes to study computer science at Stanford University one day and develop a news aggregator based on his innovative technology.
