# WorldSearch

> WorldSearch (worldsearch.site) is a multilingual, country-aware web search service. Users pick a country, type a query in their own language, and WorldSearch translates the query, searches through the engine people in that country actually use, and displays the results translated back into the user's language. The interface is available in 8 languages: Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, and Russian (URL prefixes /ja/ /en/ /fr/ /it/ /de/ /es/ /ko/ /ru/).

Key facts:

- Coverage: 38 countries and regions
- Search routing by country: Russia → Yandex, South Korea → Naver, China → Baidu, Ukraine / Israel / Iran → Google (country-restricted, experimental), all other countries → independent web search index
- Multilingual countries (Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia) are searched in two local languages in AI research mode, and each result carries a language badge
- AI research mode generates local-language queries with AI, searches local sources, and summarizes findings in the user's language
- Free to use as a guest; registered free and paid plans raise usage limits
