Search.ch

search.ch is a search engine and web portal for Switzerland. It was founded in 1995 by Rudolf Räber and Bernhard Seefeld as a regional search engine. In the following years many other services were added, such as a phonebook in 1999, a free SMS service in 2000 (now reduced to only one free SMS per week). In May 2004 search.ch was acquired by the Swiss Post.Fact|date=February 2007
