Unexpected because, in my mind, Yandex = Russia (leading search engine in the region) + a few Russian-speaking populations such as Belarus and Kazakhstan.
I knew they also had a Turkish audience... but now I'm learning real English-speaking people are actively using it!
If you read this, please let me know why you find Yandex rankings more satisfying!

Example today where I googled first before switching to yandex was simply pytorch I was expecting its git repo, google didnt, yandex was like the 3rd or 4th result. Plus google results are very clearly being massively manipulated towards what corporate sponsors want me to read rather than what I want to read, don't need that in my life, I pretty much gave up on google after multiple times scrolling for minutes finding nothing but low quality results, trying yandex and finding all the top results interesting and informative. Pretty much what the article is pointing out. Yandex reminds me more of what google results were like in the early days, before they broke it. I had tried bing a few times but if anything the results were worse than google
- semking 2y agoI just went to Yandex and I now understand exactly what you meant! pytorch git repo in 2nd position Clear, simple, like the old Google blue links. By contrast, Google's organic results were full of noise: 1. Rich results: Structured Data appearing in the left Knowledge Panel 2. Several YouTube videos (owned by Google/Alphabet) 3. A giant "About PyTorch" section with a slider 4. A "People also search for" section 5. And 8 search queries suggested! UNREAL!
