IF 'bisarok' is supposed to be an imperative verb as opposed to a noun, I
guess it could be appropriate,
( as in 'aapuni bisarok etiya').
But I thought in this context it was meant to be the name of the search engine,
as a noun. If so then
it won't be appropriate,considering the widely prevailing meaning of the
Oxomiya word "bisarok': A judge..
I will however stand corrected. Did not mean to split hairs g here :-).

Assam search engine ‘Bisarok’ launched
Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI,
June 15 – A search engine titled ‘Bisarok’ – exclusively for Assam –
has been launched. It has added websites of the Government of Assam,
educational institutes, and the print, web and television media of the
State. With the use of ‘Bisarok – Assam Search Engine’, users would
be experiencing a new online environment getting results of their
queries related to Assam only.Built on Google custom search
engine, ‘Bisarok’ would be collating and building a database of web
properties exclusively of the State.Explaining the idea behind
‘Bisarok’, RK Rishikesh Sinha who had earlier created a similar custom
search engine (‘Bisarei’) exclusively on Bishnupriya Manipuri, said that
except Google there was no link to get results, if one sought
information, particularly from the list of Assam government websites.“As
the results that Google show up do not meet the requirement, a
necessity was felt to come up with a search engine exclusively for
Assam,” Sinha said, adding that the search engine would help bring
information and knowledge on Assam near to people.Any web entity
>> related to Assam can be part of ‘Bisarok’ (
>> https://sites.google.com/site/assamsearchenginebisarok/
).Sinha
said that still at a nascent stage, ‘Bisarok’ will be graduated as soon
as possible after analyzing the response from its early adopters
