It looks like the search engine and search index remains in Russia? That's an interesting choice.
Regardless of how you feel about Russia, having a search index that's not US-controlled (or EU-controlled, not that there are any of those of any real size) is very useful. Yandex has the third(?) largest index of the web proper, and is a great check on the two largest indexes.

- JohnnyLarue 2y agoYeah, Yandex is the only place to go if you want to avoid the overwhelming grip that the west has over every search engine and every vulnerable source of info. I just can't stand their damnable captchas.
- definitelyauser 2y agoStart off by searching for "yx" or "xy". Then do your actual search. If you're going for image search, do the yx/xy text search first, then you go over to images. That'll (for some reason) never give you a captcha.
