The author assesses that launching Kazakhstan national Internet search engine in the .KZ domain is a timely project, as the two main groups that have demand for it: users and advertisers, are ready for this innovative tool in Kazakhstan. He also argues that the comparative advantage of such a search engine to Yandex or Goodgle? would be that it will reflect the unique characteristics of Kaznet. For example, Yandex cannot search in Kazakh language, Google? Does not know what is Kaznet. It only recognizes websites in .KZ domain, without considering morphological and semantic components of sites in various languages. As a result, it is impossible to get complete findings for requests and be certain that it is relevant for Kaznet. Moreover, local system has an advantage to have higher rates of updates; low number of websites will help categorize them and complete a search with many parameters (government, commercial, information websites, etc.).
