Pipilika (Bengali: পিপীলিকা) was a Bangladeshi search engine and the first search engine introduced by Bangladesh.[2] It was launched in 2013 to cater to the linguistic and cultural needs of the Bengali-speaking population.[3] The search engine was shut down in 2021.[4]

It is the country's first Bangla search engine developed by the Computer Science and Engineering students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology as a thesis project.[2]
