Search 15,000 pages from 36 Ismaili Websites and Video Channels All at Once! -- An Ismaili Digest Exclusive

nonickname ⋅ December 31, 2017

Another way to think of Ismaili Digest is as "Google search for Ismailis." So, even though we only link to and display short, 60-word digests of material from 36 of the best private and institutional websites and video channels, under the hood we've also stored the full text of their material. This means you can search almost 15,000 web pages from all the main Ismaili sites -- like the.ismaili, Simerg, Roundup, AKDN, NanoWisdoms, The Institute of Ismaili Studies (IIS), Nimira's Blog, Ismailimail, etc. -- at one go. So, for example, if you want to find out what Ismaili websites and video channels have about Fatimid coins, you can do that with one search on Ismaili Digest instead of searching each Ismaili site individually. Another exclusive Ismaili Digest service for the community.
