Sorry, but I think this is just Google Maps. Sitting here in the USA, typing "vidyarthi bhavan" into maps.google.com takes me to the one in Gandhi Bazar, too. Maybe because it has 155 reviews?

Somebody wrote the following but it is gone now. (Still had it in my other tab.)

It's actually just plain old web search. Search this on Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=vidyarthi+bhavan) or Bing (http://www.bing.com/search?q=vidyarthi+bhavan) or DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vidyarthi+bhavan) or Blekko (http://blekko.com/#?q=vidyarthi%20bhavan) or Yandex (http://www.yandex.com/yandsearch?text=vidyarthi%20bhavan) or Baidu (http://www.baidu.com/s?wd=vidyarthi+bhavan). Baidu is the only place where I saw it being the second result and not the first.

Still, it's impressive that it can transcribe both English and non-English words without knowing beforehand which language will be used.
