A HN comment recently recommended Yandex describing it as what Google search used to be.
After seeing the post and trying Yandex it was absolutely right, it’s what Google search used to be.
Now whenever I use Google and it’s just a list of ecommerce adds or content farms duplicating the same content without substance, I head to Yandex and get the type of results I used to get from Google.
- Ylpertnodi 3y agoAgree. Yandex seems to perform better. Heavy use of captcha's (mullvad vpn), but once through that, enjoy the service.
- reisse 3y agoGuess it's because Yandex gets most of its ad revenue from searches in Russian. Search results for English queries are not so ad-cluttered. For searches in Russian language, Google is still better (shows less ads per page), but tends to prefer .ua websites. I guess their ML predicts European IP + Russian language as a proxy for someone from Ukraine now, which is pretty logical.
