After traveling through the middle east: Google is far from present here, it’s Yandex territory. And I bet Asian countries can be conquered by Chinese companies the same way.
- metadat 2y agoI have to use Yandex almost daily, because Google has stopped indexing a massive amount of the Internet. It's almost more useless than Yahoo was after Google came along, which is crazy.
- dimator 2y agoWhat kind of stuff do you find missing? Is it strictly regional/firewalled content?
- ghssds 2y agoWhile my main search engine is still Google, I use Yandex more and more. I have no specific example right now but it's not unusual for Y to give me meaningful result when G, with the same search string, give me crap.
- account42 2y agoI use both for reverse image searches. It's crazy how much is missing from either (or both). At least from my use Google's index still seems to be bigger but I imagine that varies depending on what you are looking for.
- accurrent 2y agoChina, Korea and Japan have never depended on google for search. Baidu, Naver and Yahpo reign supreme. Their bussiness model is very similar to goofle tbf. ASEAN and India however rely on google heavily. Googles ad based subsidies for their other products mean that less well of consumers can have access to technology as well. I worry that the freebies will be very hard for many people to ween of.
