Yandex has long ousted its once strong competitor Rambler and almost completely absorbed the Mailru service. A similar situation is happening in the global market, where Google has left the underrated Bing from Microsoft and the original DuckDuckGo far behind.
Search engines Google and Yandex are practically the only popular services on the Russian-language Internet. The domestic service, registered for some reason in distant Holland, still holds the leadership bar in Russia, but the global American leader of the World Wide Web is already breathing down its back.
If we consider both search engines superficially, answering the question of which is better: Yandex or Google, then inexorable statistics take the side of the latter. The domestic service is the undisputed leader for desktop computers on the RuNet, while the American service includes not only system units and laptops, but also a huge audience with mobile gadgets.
Of course, the question of which is better: Yandex or Google is not so pressing for ordinary users of Android devices, because all the American services are already preinstalled for them. Even the Federal Antimonopoly Service recognized the fact of discrimination against other market participants and punished Google for violating competition law.
So, the two largest services on the RuNet. Let's find out which is better: Google or Yandex? Let us outline the main differences, notable features, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of both search engines.
Interface
Let's meet by clothes and figure out which is better: Yandex or Google in terms of interface usability. The American search engine attracts with its classic simplicity and asceticism. On the main page of Google you can see only a search bar and a couple of buttons to go to other sublevels.
Having opened the domestic search engine, we see a whole pun of news, intrusive additions and a lot of links to Yandex services. Moreover, this whole motley vinaigrette is richly flavored with advertising links and blocks. Literally all Russian companies without exception, including Rambler and Mailru, have distinguished themselves with a similar interface. Apparently, this is just some kind of feature of Runet.
Some users consider such a busy start page to be quite appropriate, where you can immediately find out the latest news, get information on traffic jams and weather forecasts. There are a minority of such people, so here everyone decides for himself what is closer to him and what is better - “Yandex” or “Google”.
If you like minimalism and search is a priority, then the American service is your option. Well, for those who like to linger on a page and scroll through interesting (and sometimes not so interesting) information, looking for it among advertising blocks, a domestic search engine is quite suitable.
Functional
Let's look at how Yandex differs from Google in terms of functionality. The capabilities of both search engines are approximately the same. Both there and there you can find a similar set of tools: news, roads, maps, videos, music and other related surroundings.
As for ease of use, Google is worse than Yandex, although not by much. The latter's advanced search, as well as other functionality, looks more clear and beautiful. The pleasant visual component of the Yandex advanced search allows you to quickly navigate through all the columns, drop-down lists and markers. While with Google you will have to work hard to find the right tool. But here again, this is largely a matter of habit, and everyone decides for themselves what is better - Yandex or Google.
It is also worth noting that the American search engine has a competent voice search for landline systems, and not just for mobile ones. Although Yandex has launched its similar service, Alice, it is still too crude to compete with the Google lady.
Advertising
Let's figure out which is better: Yandex or Google in terms of the abundance of advertising and its aggressiveness. If you haven't taken care to hide advertisements using third-party browser add-ons like AdBlock or Privacy Badger, then the following picture emerges.
There is much more PR of everything and everyone in Google. Even without taking into account the user’s clearly commercial requests, the search itself will contain at least three lines of advertising, and the entire right side will be literally littered with banners and text ads.
In Yandex this matter is a little better. Directly in the search results, upon request, you will find three clearly marked advertising lines, and on the right half there will be a nice media-contextual banner without unnecessary “noise”. But, as mentioned above, if you install additional browser plugins on Yandex and Google, then all sorts of PR will become noticeably less, or even disappear altogether. Similar add-ons can be found on the official resources of browser developers, and in large quantities, so there should not be any special problems here.
Search engine
This is one of the main parameters that determines who is cooler - Google or Yandex. Each service refines its search engine every day. It is quite complex and confusing, but nevertheless allows you to give the user the most relevant answer to the question asked in a matter of seconds.
The power of the American search engine servers is quite enough to process the request in real time. Updates occur every day, so if you compare the Internet of Yandex and Google, the latter has the most up-to-date information.
For example, with the hot query “Syria,” the American search engine produces current news on the Syrian conflict. While Yandex first of all offers to get acquainted with Wikipedia, some geographical features, and only then, somewhere in the middle of the page, displays a news feed.
In addition, Google is an international product, so it is great for searching in foreign languages. But in this case there is also a downside. Why is Yandex better than Google? Because the latter tries to cover everything, but it doesn’t always succeed, while the domestic search engine ties itself to the regions and produces really high-quality and relevant results for a regional query.
If Google copes with current search results due to its numerous servers, then Yandex does not have enough capacity for such efficiency. The domestic search engine simply caches a good part of the requests, and the user receives a pre-prepared answer. Such a solution allows you to instantly obtain the necessary information, but the latter will not always be relevant.
So if your queries can be called standard (weather, movies, music, Wikipedia sections, etc.), then you will not notice the difference between Google or Yandex. If you need more specific and relevant information for some professional needs, then it is better to give preference to an American search engine.
Reviewers
For many, the determining criterion that will allow them to choose between Google or Yandex is search engine services and some additional applications. Among the latter, branded browsers appeared most often. Just as in the case of web versions of search engines, let's start with the interfaces.
Interface
Here we have a similar situation described above. Google Chrome is characterized by minimalism and the absence of “extra” buttons. Moreover, if you are not satisfied with the classic look of the browser, then in the settings you can always add a couple of panels and other “chips”.
In addition, the browser is not at all against integrations with its competitors, so you can always make “Yandex” the start page in Google Chrome. We also mentioned the dominance of the “American” on all mobile gadgets running the Android platform, so many users are simply “forcibly accustomed” to Chrome.
The Yandex Browser interface is very similar to its American competitor. But unlike the latter, it is more understandable and any beginner who has discovered the Internet for the first time can understand it. The specificity of the domestic audience probably played a significant role here: it is easier for us to understand “ours” than to study “theirs.”
Speed
As for speed, there is almost no difference between the Google and Yandex browsers. They work on the same code, so the differences in bench tests showed minimal differences. The only thing worth clarifying is the availability of some browser features.
Thus, Yandex has a special “Turbo mode” that allows you to compress streaming traffic on the search engine’s servers, thereby saving its consumption. For owners of USB modems, this functionality came in handy.
Google does not have a similar “trick,” but when it comes to opening serious and “heavy” web pages, it has succeeded here with its caching. But such a decision greatly affects RAM. Many users have repeatedly called Chrome the most voracious browser. Therefore, if you have less than 4 GB of RAM, then it is better to install a domestic browser.
Functionality
If you are a professional web developer or a similar specialist, then the choice between browsers from Yandex and Google is quite obvious. The latter has a lot of plugins and add-ons that greatly facilitate working with specific content and codes. Yandex, alas, cannot boast of such diversity.
The domestic search engine is good in many ways, but only if you are an ordinary user: it is beautiful, convenient, understandable and seems to be native, but it is not suitable for some serious business enterprises.
Cloud services
Let's consider cloud services from domestic and American search engines - Yandex Disk and Google Disk. Both options are excellent alternatives to flash drives and memory cards, so let’s figure out why they are good or bad.
The Yandex service provides its users with 10 GB of free storage for any information. The Disk web interface was distinguished by its clear and convenient menu branches, as well as its attractiveness. In addition, the speed of loading data into the cloud is slightly higher than that of a competitor from Google. The only critical drawback that users often complain about is the lack of at least some built-in tools for working with the Microsoft office environment.
Google Drive already offers 15 GB of space for storing files versus 10 for Yandex. The storage interface may not be as clear as in the first case, but you can still figure it out. One of the main advantages of the “cloud” from Google is the built-in editors for everything you can: documents, spreadsheets, photos, etc. It should also be noted that there is excellent synergy with office products from Microsoft.
If you only need cloud services for storing files, then you can, in principle, choose any “Disk”. For more versatile work, the Google product is still more attractive. As for the security of your data, there are no differences here: both are strict with this, so no one will steal anything.
Cards
Another quite popular service is cards. Let's start, as usual, with the interface. A good half of the users liked the Google version of the design: everything is in its place, at hand and with clear tips.
But this is where the advantages of Google’s service, one might say, end. The capabilities of Yandex Maps are much wider and richer. Some call the domestic service the real ecosystem of the Runet, because almost everything is available here.
Yandex maps are especially useful for drivers:
- excellent and clear navigation;
- information about traffic incidents;
- work on sites and detours;
- cameras;
- online functionality “Conversations”;
- important marks and markers.
Moreover, this is not a complete list of all the capabilities of the service. So here the choice is quite obvious in favor of the domestic search engine.
Summarizing
Comparing Yandex with Google seems simple, but at the same time difficult. Each search engine and related service is good for its category of users. Yes, they are both leaders and universal in almost everything. Analogies of services can be traced here and there. It is difficult and impossible to select and single out someone separately.
If your activity is related to web development, codes, processing a lot of information, and diverse, then it is better to use an American search engine. It provides more relevant and flexible data based on user requests. In addition, Google Chrome has a lot of tools in the form of plugins and add-ons that will become indispensable for specific and professional needs.
If you consider yourself an ordinary Internet user and you like the comfort and pleasant colors of a domestic search engine, then Yandex will be your excellent assistant in all your endeavors. He will quickly tell you about the latest news, show traffic congestion, explain the solution to incomprehensible school problems and tell you what is currently showing in cinemas. Domestic services from Yandex are distinguished by an intuitive and user-friendly interface, as well as a pleasant appearance.
In general, it is impossible to say anything definitely good or bad about our and foreign search engines. Both have advantages and disadvantages to approximately equal extent.
A person spends about two hours a day on the global network, and most often even more. Choosing the most comfortable browser for surfing the Internet is a relevant but subjective question.
Everyone chooses which browser suits them best, focusing on personal preferences, but you can consider the main advantages and disadvantages that you should pay attention to when choosing browsers such as Google Chrome or Yandex to work with.
The first thing a user pays attention to when choosing a browser is not the functionality, but the interface. As for these two options, in this case they are very similar, since they are created on the same engine, but at the same time they have key differences.
- Google Chrome. The browser can rightfully be considered the standard of minimalism and the absence of unnecessary details. At the same time, it is similar to a designer: if the user is not satisfied with something on the main page or control panel, then he can use the settings to add or remove the necessary elements. For those who use the Internet via phone, there is a free mobile application that is popular and is ranked in the TOP 10 best browsers around the world.
- Yandex browser. It is similar to the Google Chrome interface, but the advantage is that it is maximally simplified and more understandable, and even an inexperienced user can understand the settings. Another positive feature is the application, which opens gesture controls. Like the previous browser, it has a mobile application, which is provided absolutely free and without subsequent restrictions.
Comparing the speed of work: who has it better?
Of course, the second thing you pay attention to is the speed at which the browser works. If it slows down, then no one will use it. Comparing the speed of Google Chrome and Yandex, the conclusion is as follows:
- Google Chrome. The download takes place in a fraction of a second, however, it is not recommended to install this browser if you have small RAM, it simply “will not handle” the work of the most powerful “conductor”.
- Yandex. The browser is equipped with a “turbo mode”, which allows pages to load instantly. When using this mode, traffic on servers is compressed, which affects the speed of receiving information. It is better to use this mode when working from a mobile phone or tablet. If the mode is not enabled, then the speed of the two browsers does not differ from each other.
Security issue
The level of security a browser provides is just as important as the guidelines above. Considering that the Internet is full of scammers and virus programs, it is better to know in advance which browser will most reliably protect your computer.
- Google Chrome. You probably won't find a more reliable browser than this one. It is constantly updated; developers are trying to be one step ahead of scammers by quickly developing computer protection programs. When a user tries to download an infected file, the browser immediately warns him about it. However, if the warning is rejected and the file is downloaded, then infection cannot be avoided.
- Yandex. Security at a high level. All files uploaded by the user are thoroughly checked by Kaspersky, and when visiting virus sites, the system notifies the user and blocks access. The developers guarantee the protection of personal data, passwords from social networks. networks, banking information when logging into your personal account, etc.
Key differences between Google Chrome and Yandex
When choosing which browser is better, you should pay attention to a number of key differences. There are not many of them, since, as mentioned above, they were created on the same engine, but they exist and will be discussed below.
- Touching upon the interface again, it is worth noting that Yandex in this case is more diverse and understandable.
- Google Chrome is stable, which is why almost all webmasters choose it.
- The key difference is that Yandex is a Russian browser, Google Chrome is the brainchild of Americans.
- Google Chrome is better in terms of relevance.
- Google Chrome is better and more accurate in the search suggestions that pop up when you type a search query.
Yandex is focused on issues and work in general on the population of Russia and the CIS countries. The majority of the Russian-speaking population use it and consider it better than Google Chrome. 58% of users in Russia and Ukraine use a browser from Yandex.
Which browser is better: some more information
The expandability of Google Chrome is much better than that of Yandex: all kinds of entertainment, high-quality games, as well as any ad blocking with appropriate settings and the ability to remove pop-up updates.
Integration of Yandex.Browser with the services of Yandex itself is the main feature of the explorer; no matter how extensible Google Chrome is, Yandex has no equal here. The list is very wide: this is primarily a search engine, as well as cloud (storage), maps, language translations, email and other services. They are very convenient and open with one click. Not to mention the ability to view traffic jams and weather.
So what choice should you make?
When making a choice, first of all you need to determine for yourself the purpose of being on the Internet. The right choice will depend on this. So, for example, if the user plans to use it exclusively for work and searching for the necessary information, then it is better to choose Google Chrome, since it is as simplified as possible. And Google search results are more extensive, and they provide more accurate hints when creating a search query.
If, when choosing a browser, the user is looking for a variety of “tricks” and integration with the most popular services, then Yandex will be the best choice, since with its help you can not only find the necessary information using a search engine, but also diversify your experience on the Internet as much as possible. But it is worth noting that no matter how popular the Yandex system is, it is aimed at Russian users, which means that search results are somewhat limited.
What is this
DuckDuckGo is a fairly well-known open source search engine. Servers are located in the USA. In addition to its own robot, the search engine uses results from other sources: Yahoo, Bing, Wikipedia.
The better
DuckDuckGo positions itself as a search engine that provides maximum privacy and confidentiality. The system does not collect any data about the user, does not store logs (no search history), and the use of cookies is as limited as possible.
DuckDuckGo does not collect or share personal information from users. This is our privacy policy.
Gabriel Weinberg, founder of DuckDuckGo
Why do you need this
All major search engines are trying to personalize search results based on data about the person in front of the monitor. This phenomenon is called the “filter bubble”: the user sees only those results that are consistent with his preferences or that the system deems as such.
Forms an objective picture that does not depend on your past behavior on the Internet, and eliminates Google and Yandex thematic advertising based on your queries. With DuckDuckGo it is easy to search for information in foreign languages, while Google and Yandex by default give preference to Russian-language sites, even if the query is entered in another language.
What is this
not Evil is a system that searches the anonymous Tor network. To use it, you need to go to this network, for example by launching a specialized .
not Evil is not the only search engine of its kind. There is LOOK (the default search in the Tor browser, accessible from the regular Internet) or TORCH (one of the oldest search engines on the Tor network) and others. We settled on not Evil because of the clear hint from Google (just look at the start page).
The better
It searches where Google, Yandex and other search engines are generally closed.
Why do you need this
The Tor network contains many resources that cannot be found on the law-abiding Internet. And their number will grow as government control over the content of the Internet tightens. Tor is a kind of network within the Internet with its own social networks, torrent trackers, media, trading platforms, blogs, libraries, and so on.
3. YaCy
What is this
YaCy is a decentralized search engine that works on the principle of P2P networks. Each computer on which the main software module is installed scans the Internet independently, that is, it is analogous to a search robot. The results obtained are collected into a common database that is used by all YaCy participants.
The better
It’s difficult to say whether this is better or worse, since YaCy is a completely different approach to organizing search. The absence of a single server and owner company makes the results completely independent of anyone's preferences. The autonomy of each node eliminates censorship. YaCy is capable of searching the deep web and non-indexed public networks.
Why do you need this
If you are a supporter of open source software and a free Internet, not subject to the influence of government agencies and large corporations, then YaCy is your choice. It can also be used to organize a search within a corporate or other autonomous network. And even though YaCy is not very useful in everyday life, it is a worthy alternative to Google in terms of the search process.
4. Pipl
What is this
Pipl is a system designed to search for information about a specific person.
The better
The authors of Pipl claim that their specialized algorithms search more efficiently than “regular” search engines. In particular, priority is given to social network profiles, comments, member lists, and various databases that publish information about people, such as databases of court decisions. Pipl's leadership in this area is confirmed by assessments from Lifehacker.com, TechCrunch and other publications.
Why do you need this
If you need to find information about a person living in the US, then Pipl will be much more effective than Google. The databases of Russian courts are apparently inaccessible to the search engine. Therefore, he does not cope so well with Russian citizens.
What is this
FindSounds is another specialized search engine. Searches various sounds in open sources: house, nature, cars, people, and so on. The service does not support queries in Russian, but there is an impressive list of Russian-language tags that you can use to search.
The better
The output contains only sounds and nothing extra. In the settings you can set the desired format and sound quality. All sounds found are available for download. There is a search by pattern.
Why do you need this
If you need to quickly find the sound of a musket shot, the blows of a suckling woodpecker, or the cry of Homer Simpson, then this service is for you. And we chose this only from the available Russian-language queries. In English the spectrum is even wider.
Seriously, a specialized service requires a specialized audience. But what if it comes in handy for you too?
What is this
Wolfram|Alpha is a computational search engine. Instead of links to articles containing keywords, it provides a ready-made answer to the user's request. For example, if you enter “compare the populations of New York and San Francisco” into the search form in English, Wolfram|Alpha will immediately display tables and graphs with the comparison.
The better
This service is better than others for finding facts and calculating data. Wolfram|Alpha collects and organizes knowledge available on the Web from a variety of fields, including science, culture and entertainment. If this database contains a ready-made answer to a search query, the system displays it; if not, it calculates and displays the result. In this case, the user sees only nothing superfluous.
Why do you need this
If you're a student, analyst, journalist, or researcher, for example, you can use Wolfram|Alpha to find and calculate data related to your work. The service does not understand all requests, but it is constantly developing and becoming smarter.
What is this
The Dogpile metasearch engine displays a combined list of results from search results from Google, Yahoo and other popular systems.
The better
First, Dogpile displays fewer ads. Secondly, the service uses a special algorithm to find and show the best results from different search engines. According to the Dogpile developers, their systems generate the most complete search results on the entire Internet.
Why do you need this
If you can't find information on Google or another standard search engine, look for it in several search engines at once using Dogpile.
What is this
BoardReader is a system for text search in forums, question and answer services and other communities.
The better
The service allows you to narrow your search field to social platforms. Thanks to special filters, you can quickly find posts and comments that match your criteria: language, publication date and site name.
Why do you need this
BoardReader can be useful for PR specialists and other media specialists who are interested in the opinion of the masses on certain issues.
Finally
The life of alternative search engines is often fleeting. Lifehacker asked the former general director of the Ukrainian branch of Yandex, Sergei Petrenko, about the long-term prospects of such projects.
Sergey Petrenko
Former General Director of Yandex.Ukraine.
As for the fate of alternative search engines, it is simple: to be very niche projects with a small audience, therefore without clear commercial prospects or, conversely, with complete clarity of their absence.
If you look at the examples in the article, you can see that such search engines either specialize in a narrow but popular niche, which, perhaps, has not yet grown enough to be noticeable on the radars of Google or Yandex, or they are testing an original hypothesis in ranking, which is not yet applicable in regular search.
For example, if a search on Tor suddenly turns out to be in demand, that is, results from there are needed by at least a percentage of Google’s audience, then, of course, ordinary search engines will begin to solve the problem of how to find them and show them to the user. If the behavior of the audience shows that for a significant proportion of users in a significant number of queries, results given without taking into account factors depending on the user seem more relevant, then Yandex or Google will begin to produce such results.
“Be better” in the context of this article does not mean “be better at everything.” Yes, in many aspects our heroes are far from Yandex (even far from Bing). But each of these services gives the user something that the search industry giants cannot offer. Surely you also know similar projects. Share with us - let's discuss.
Google or Yandex which is better? Battle of the search engines!
Dear friends, I welcome you to my blog! Sergey Ivanov is in touch with you as always, and today I want to discuss with you one sensitive question: “Google or Yandex - which is better?” Here we will discuss search engines both from the side of users who use search engines and from the side of webmasters who promote their sites in search engines. And at the end of the article, I suggest you take a survey and express your opinion about this or that search engine and at the same time familiarize yourself with the statistics of votes of those who read this article. And so, let’s not pour water, but let’s move on to consider the issue:
Google or Yandex, which is better for users?
Since these two excellent search engines are the giants of search traffic on the modern Internet, we will not take into account other search engines if there are clear favorites.
Let's first take the scale of search engines. Google, whatever one may say, is a global search engine monopolist, which on a global scale is clearly the favorite over Yandex. However, the Yandex search engine is a purely Runet search engine and, in comparison with Google, has 60% of the traffic of the entire Runet. And Google, according to official statistics, serves 31% of Russian-speaking users. Consequently, in RuNet, Yandex prevails in audience sympathy over Google.
However, since Google is a world-famous search engine, it is he who sets all the tendencies and tendencies in this direction. Google, like its older brother, sets an example, and its younger brother, Yandex, follows these examples. For example, Yandex copied the Google Chrome browser and made “Yandex” its browser. Although I personally liked the Yandex browser when using these two browsers, I was not impressed with Google Chrome. However, I want to note that these preferences remain purely on an emotional level; several features from Yandex Browser tipped the scales in its favor.
All this is understandable, but let me tell you why I personally like the Yandex search engine more...
Firstly, if we take it from the roots, I learned to use the Internet with the Yandex search engine, I remember how a childhood friend typed ya.ru into the browser and said: “Just type in the field what you want to find.” From that moment I started my activities on the Internet and grew to become a blogger who creates websites himself, writes articles about website promotion in search engines.
Secondly, I like Yandex because it allows me to immediately find the necessary information in a number of other search engines. For example, I didn’t find the necessary information in Yandex, clicked on the “Google” tab and immediately got acquainted with the Google results on the requested topic. This is very convenient in my opinion. Google does not provide such conveniences in its search results.
But in general, I think that each Internet user needs to decide whether Google or Yandex is better. After all, each person has his own morals and preferences, if you don’t know what’s better, Google or Yandex, just use one PS for a month, and another the next month, and draw conclusions for yourself.
In my opinion, both search engines complement each other, so there is no need to compare them, but use their strengths to your advantage.
Okay, we figured out what is best for users, now let's talk about the priorities of search engines for webmasters.
Google or Yandex, which is better for webmasters and bloggers?
But this article is not about SEO, so it’s to the point. The funny thing is that all the articles in Yandex go to the TOP right away, but with Google I have a problem, and not a small one. Not long ago I realized what the problem was, I read all the requirements for sites in Google reference books and realized that there was something wrong with my blog. Now I'm slowly fixing everything. I hope that relations with Google will improve soon.
All this means is that Yandex’s requirements for sites are much simpler, as pilots say: “Yandex forgives gross mistakes in piloting,” but Google does not forgive and punishes sites for mistakes.
Therefore, Yandex is a more suitable search engine for promotion for novice webmasters and bloggers, while Google requires discipline and correctness from webmasters, and punishes gross mistakes by applying filters.
However, here I want to note that in order to get excellent results in terms of traffic, you need to involve the services of both search engines, and Yandex and Google should bring you benefits, that is, attract traffic to your website.
Today I hope I have given an answer to the question of which is better, Google or Yandex, and in my opinion, the unequivocal answer is “Both are great” and you need to be friends with both.
And here I propose to take a survey and decide who is better than Google or Yandex.
That’s all for today, see you again in new articles!
There is no answer to the question which search engine is better. Everyone makes their own decision depending on what they need to find and what benefits they can get from searching on this site. Yandex is a search service with a leading position in the CIS segment of the Internet. Its share is about 55-60% of all requests.
Google Features
Google is still lagging behind and has 35-40% of searches. But how long will this last, and is there a chance to come out ahead? Google search quality is constantly changing for the better to fully satisfy every user request. Special attention should be paid to the volume of information found and the speed of its collection. The search database of this service is updated in real time, which makes it possible to constantly provide fresh information. Just a year ago, in the list of sites in response to a request, you could find pages that should not have been there, but today everything is much better.
Yandex has long been thinking about the quality of search, and for the past 3-4 years, when sending a request, you can receive the information you really need, but not in the same volume. These technologies can reject the site, and it will never be found; such protection is provided against the appearance of unwanted pages. Yandex is great for searching in languages and languages of CIS countries, but if you send queries in English or any other language, you will not receive an answer.
Where to go to search
Google is an international search engine with huge budgets for every language and region. Wherever he was not stopped by the government, he won and captured the lion's share of the market. In Russia, Yandex is still holding on due to the quality of search and its browser, but how long will this last?
For searching on and on popular topics, Yandex is perfect, but if you need to find some specific information, it’s better to turn to Google. Yandex databases are updated on average once a week, so there is no point in talking about any fast and relevant search. If we touch upon the commercial topics of queries, the results do not change at all. It is difficult to say what this is connected with, but certainly not with the quality of the sites and the completeness of the information on them.
Yandex pays great attention to developing signs of people's behavior on sites of a certain subject, which makes it possible to judge how fully the site responded to the user's request. Using completely different technologies, both Google and Yandex still get along in the Russian search market. For complete information on your request, it is better not to be lazy and contact both systems.
