Hello, dear readers of the blog site. , then its few users had enough of their own bookmarks. However, as you remember, it happened in geometric progression, and very soon it became more difficult to navigate in all its diversity.
Then directories appeared (Yahoo, Dmoz and others), in which their authors added and sorted various sites into categories. This immediately made life easier for the then, not yet very numerous users of the global network. Many of these catalogs are still alive today.
But after some time, the size of their databases became so large that the developers first thought about creating a search within them, and then about creating automated system indexing all Internet content to make it accessible to everyone.
The main search engines of the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet
As you understand, this idea was implemented with stunning success, but, however, everything turned out well only for a handful of selected companies that managed not to disappear on the Internet. Almost all search engines, which appeared in the first wave, have now either disappeared, languished, or were bought by more successful competitors.
A search engine is a very complex and, importantly, very resource-intensive mechanism (this means not only material resources, but also human ones). Behind the seemingly simple , or its ascetic analogue from Google, there are thousands of employees, hundreds of thousands of servers and many billions of investments that are necessary for this colossus to continue to operate and remain competitive.
Entering this market now and starting from scratch is more of a utopia than a real business project. For example, one of the world's richest corporations, Microsoft, has been trying to gain a foothold in the search market for decades, and only now their search engine Bing is slowly beginning to meet their expectations. And before that there was a whole series of failures and setbacks.
What can we say about entering this market without any special financial influences. For example, our domestic search engine Nigma has a lot of useful and innovative things in its arsenal, but their traffic is thousands of times lower than the leaders of the Russian market. For example, take a look at the daily Yandex audience:
In this regard, we can assume that the list of the main (best and luckiest) search engines of the Runet and the entire Internet has already been formed and the whole intrigue lies only in who will eventually devour whom, or how their percentage share will be distributed if they all survive and will stay afloat.
Russian search engine market is very clearly visible and here, probably, we can distinguish two or three main players and a couple of minor ones. In general, a rather unique situation has developed in RuNet, which, as I understand it, has repeated itself only in two other countries in the world.
I'm talking about the fact that the Google search engine, having come to Russia in 2004, has still not been able to take leadership. In fact, they tried to buy Yandex around this period, but something didn’t work out there and now “our Russia”, along with the Czech Republic and China, are those places where the almighty Google, if not defeated, then, in any case, met serious resistance.
In fact, to see the current state of affairs among the best search engines on the RuNet Anyone can. It will be enough to paste this URL into the address bar of your browser:
Http://www.liveinternet.ru/stat/ru/searches.html?period=month;total=yes
The fact is that most of uses on its websites, and this URL allows you to see statistics of visitors from various search engines to all websites that belong to the RU domain zone.
After entering the given Url, you will see a picture that is not very attractive and presentable, but it well reflects the essence of the matter. Pay attention to the top five search engines from which sites in Russian receive traffic:
Yes, of course, not all resources with Russian-language content are located in this zone. There are also SU and RF, and general areas like COM or NET are full of Internet projects focused on Runet, but still, the sample is quite representative.
This dependence can be presented in a more colorful way, as, for example, someone did online for his presentation:
This doesn't change the essence. There are a couple of leaders and several very, very far behind search engines. By the way, I have already written about many of them. Sometimes it can be quite interesting to plunge into the history of success or, conversely, to delve into the reasons for the failures of once promising search engines.
So, in order of importance for Russia and the Runet as a whole, I will list them and give them brief characteristics:
Searching on Google has already become a household word for many people on the planet - you can read about it in the link. In this search engine, I liked the “translation of results” option, when you received answers from all over the world, but in your native language, but now, unfortunately, it is not available (at least on google.ru).
Also in Lately I am also puzzled by the quality of their output (Search Engine Result Page). Personally, I always first use the RuNet mirror search engine (there is one there, well, I’m used to it) and only if I don’t find an intelligible answer there, I turn to Google.
Usually the release of them made me happy, but lately it has only puzzled me - sometimes such nonsense comes out. It is possible that their struggle to increase income from contextual advertising and the constant shuffling of search results in order to discredit SEO promotion may lead to the opposite result. In any case, this search engine has a competitor on the RuNet, and what kind of one at that.
I think that it is unlikely that anyone will specifically go to Go.mail.ru to search in RuNet. Therefore, traffic to entertainment projects from this search engine can be significantly more than ten percent. Owners of such projects should pay attention to this system.
However, in addition to the clear leaders in the search engine market of the Russian-language segment of the Internet, there are several more players whose share is quite low, but nevertheless the very fact of their existence makes it necessary to say a few words about them.
Runet search engines from the second echelon
Internet-wide search engines
By and large, on the scale of the entire Internet there is only one serious player - Google. This is the undisputed leader, but it still has some competition.
First of all, it's still the same Bing, which, for example, has a very good position in the American market, especially considering that its engine is also used on all Yahoo services (almost a third of the entire US search market).
Well, secondly, due to the huge share that users from China make up in the total number of Internet users, their main search engine called Baidu wedges itself into the distribution of places on the world Olympus. He was born in 2000 and now his share is about 80% of the entire national audience in China.
It is difficult to say anything more intelligible about Baidu, but on the Internet there are opinions that places in its Top are occupied not only by the sites most relevant to the request, but also by those who paid for it (directly to the search engine, and not to the SEO office). Of course, this applies primarily to commercial listings.
In general, looking at the statistics, it becomes clear why Google easily agrees to worsen its search results in exchange for increasing profits from contextual advertising. In fact, they are not afraid of user churn, because in most cases they have nowhere to go. This situation is somewhat sad, but we'll see what happens next.
By the way, to make life even more difficult for optimizers, and perhaps to maintain the peace of mind of this search engine’s users, Google has recently been using encryption when transmitting queries from users’ browsers to the search bar. Soon it will no longer be possible to see in the statistics of visitor counters what queries Google users came to you for.
Of course, in addition to the search engines mentioned in this publication, there are thousands of others - regional, specialized, exotic, etc. Trying to list and describe them all in one article would be impossible, and probably not necessary. Let's better say a few words about how easy it is to create a search engine and how easy and inexpensive it is to keep it up to date.
The vast majority of systems work on similar principles (read about this and that) and pursue the same goal - to give users an answer to their question. Moreover, this answer must be relevant (corresponding to the question), comprehensive and, which is not unimportant, relevant (of the first freshness).
Solving this problem is not so easy, especially considering that the search engine will need to analyze the contents of billions of Internet pages on the fly, weed out the unnecessary ones, and from the remaining ones form a list (issue), where the most appropriate answers to the user’s question will appear first.
This extremely complex task is solved by preliminary collection of information from these pages using various indexing robots. They collect links from already visited pages and load information from them into the search engine database. There are bots that index text (a regular and fast bot that lives on news and frequently updated resources so that the latest data is always presented in the results).
In addition, there are robots that index images (for their subsequent output to), favicons, site mirrors (for their subsequent comparison and possible gluing), bots that check the functionality of Internet pages, which users or through tools for webmasters (here you can read about, and) .
The indexing process itself and the subsequent process of updating index databases are quite time-consuming. Although Google does this much faster than its competitors, at least Yandex, which takes a week or two to do this (read about).
Typically, a search engine breaks the text content of an Internet page into individual words, which are reduced to the basic principles, so that it can then give correct answers to questions asked in different morphological forms. All the extra stuff in the form of HTML tags, spaces, etc. things are deleted, and the remaining words are sorted alphabetically and their position in this document is indicated next to them.
This kind of thing is called a reverse index and allows you to search not by web pages, but by structured data located on the search engine servers.
The number of such servers for Yandex (which searches mainly only for Russian-language sites and a little for Ukrainian and Turkish) is in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, and for Google (which searches in hundreds of languages) - in the millions.
Many servers have copies, which serve both to increase the security of documents and help increase the speed of request processing (by distributing the load). Estimate the costs of maintaining this entire economy.
The user's request will be sent by the load balancer to the server segment that is currently least loaded. Then an analysis is carried out of the region from which the search engine user sent his request, and it is analyzed morphologically. If a similar query was recently entered in the search bar, then the user is given data from the cache so as not to overload the servers again.
If the request has not yet been cached, then it is transferred to the area where the search engine's index database is located. In response, you will receive a list of all Internet pages that are at least somewhat related to the request. Not only direct occurrences are taken into account, but also other morphological forms, as well as, etc. things.
Their needs to be ranked and at this stage the algorithm comes into play ( artificial intelligence). In fact, the user's request is multiplied through all possible options for its interpretation, and answers to many requests are searched simultaneously (through the use of query language operators, some of which are available to ordinary users).
As a rule, the search results contain one page from each site (sometimes more). are now very complex and take into account many factors. In addition, to correct them, and are used, which manually evaluate reference sites, which allows you to adjust the operation of the algorithm as a whole.
In general, it is clear that the matter is dark. We can talk about this for a long time, but it is already clear that user satisfaction with a search system is achieved, oh, how difficult it is. And there will always be those who don’t like something, like you and me, dear readers.
Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

Good day to everyone, my dear friends and readers of my blog. Today I want to tell you about the most famous search engines on the Internet in Russian. Internet resources are used for the daily work and leisure of a huge number of people.
And in order to get what is needed or interesting, search engines are used, which are a hardware and software complex for quickly searching for the information the user needs, stored on servers (special computers) of the Internet.
The frequency of use of a search engine is determined, firstly, by how relevant the data it provides, and secondly, by how quickly it does so. The main selection criteria are:
- completeness and accuracy of the results found;
- data relevance;
- finding speed;
- clarity of the interface.
In Russia, the most popular search engines are Yandex, Mail, Rambler and some others. But I would like to give you more detailed list these systems so that you have a better understanding of it all.
Yandex.ru is the most popular within the Russian-language Internet. Search queries can be written in both English and Russian. The motto of the Yandex website is “Everything can be found!” and indeed, they are provided with high-quality and fast provision of information.
Personally, I have been using this search engine by default for more than 10 years and I really like it. And for any webmaster it has simply great value, since any of them goes to great lengths to ensure that their site is found in this particular system.
It has a huge index base, which means it can find almost everything. The conclusion of the information found is rational. Yandex is constantly developing. It offers more and more popular services, such as news, maps, weather forecast, Email, Yandex. money. By the way, I wrote here, so if you are interested in this, be sure to read it.
Currently, the share of Yandex use in Russia is about 56 percent. That is, the majority of the country's population prefers to use this particular browser.
And here is the main competitor of the aforementioned Yasha. Yes, this system is certainly not Russian, but one of its founders is our compatriot Sergei Brin. True, he was taken to the states while still a child, so he can hardly be called Russian. If you are interested, then you can read the ones I have collected for you.
Be that as it may, Google is the most popular system in the world and is still the second most popular in Russia.
For today 38 percent All search queries in Russia go through Google
Search Mail.ru
Mail.ru is very popular among Russian-speaking network users. But not many people use the search engine of the same name. By itself, it is ordinary and unremarkable, so it cannot yet withstand competitors such as the aforementioned Yandex and Google. Although I doubt that he will try to conquer the top of search engines. It is enough for him that he has the most popular post office in Russia. But still ours 5 percent from total number he has requests.
In addition, the site contains a huge number of applications, interesting games, and also has its own social network. Applications have been developed that allow searching by voice.
Rambler.ru
Rambler is one of the earliest options and used to be one of the most popular search engines in the Russian language, along with Yandex. And for the first couple of years I actively used it as the default search engine, until I switched to Yandex. Now it is not used very actively (I would even say not actively at all), although it has good quality and excellent speed.
It is also a popular RuNet media portal where you can use mail, find out the latest news about the most different areas life. By the way, it has proven itself quite well as a media and news portal, and I know many people who specifically go to Rambler to read the latest news.
Despite its former popularity, Rambler today owns less 0.5 percent of the total number of requests on the Internet.
WebAlta.ru
WebAlta is one of the new Russian search engines. It is developing well and already reflects more than 1 billion documents, which is good result. It is easily customizable according to users' preferences. The setting is visualized, and changing the query is immediately reflected in the results.
But how it irritated me a couple of years ago, when after installing any application, Webalta became the default home page and search engine. I actually thought it was some kind of virus. Therefore, I will say again: “”.
Well, I won’t even talk about the share of search traffic, since it is negligible.
Nigma.ru
Nigma is a modern Russian intelligent metasearch system. It uses a modern cluster approach, which improves the quality and completeness of the process. The site includes mathematical and chemical subsystems for solving a variety of problems and standard user services.
But so far this is probably the least popular service of all those presented above. Although you can try it in action. Perhaps you will like everything). Well, as far as you understand, the traffic here is also so low that you don’t even have to turn it on.
Please tell me what search engines you use? I'm asking for a reason. The fact is that I recently found out that one of my friends uses Rambler. And to be honest, I was surprised that some of my friends did not use Yandex or Google. I’ve just been hooked on Yandex since the mid-2000s and it is my favorite search engine.
Well, now, in principle, I think that you, in principle, know all the main search engines in Russian, and draw conclusions about which one is more interesting to you. But it’s true that it will be difficult for others to compete with two giants
Well, I guess I’ll finish my article today. I hope you liked it. If so, then be sure to visit me again. Good luck to you. Bye!
Sincerely, Dmitry Kostin.
A search engine is a database of specific information on the Internet. Many users believe that as soon as they enter a query into a search engine, the entire Internet is immediately crawled, but this is not at all true. The Internet is scanned constantly, by many programs, data about sites is entered into a database, where, according to certain criteria, all sites and all their pages are distributed into various types of lists and databases. That is, it is a kind of file cabinet of data, and the search takes place not on the Internet, but on this file cabinet.
Google is the most popular search engine in the world.
In addition to the search engine, Google offers many additional services, programs and hardware, including an email service, Google Chrome browser, the largest YouTube video library and many other projects. Google is confidently buying up many projects that bring large profits. Most of the services are not aimed at the direct user, but at making money on the Internet and are integrated with a focus on the interests of European and American users.
Mail is a search engine that is popular mainly because of its email service.
There are many additional services, the key of which is Mail, at the moment the Mail company owns the social network Odnoklassniki, its own network “My World”, the Money-mail service, many online games, three almost identical browsers with different names. All applications and services contain a lot of advertising content. The social network VKonatkte blocks direct transitions to Mail services, justifying them with a large number of viruses.
Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is a search reference system.
The non-profit search engine, which operates on private donations, therefore does not fill its pages with advertising. A multilingual project whose goal is to create a complete reference encyclopedia in all languages of the world. It has no specific authors and is populated and run by volunteers from all over the world. Each user can both write and edit an article.

There are additional services, the most famous of which is Yahoo mail. As part of improving the quality of the search engine, Yahoo transfers data about users and their queries to Microsoft.

If you really understand something, then thoroughly. And if you subscribe to our blog, it means you probably want to become a cool specialist or want to know more about searching on the Internet. To achieve what you want, tricks and life hacks are not enough. We need to expand our horizons.
A search engine is a large and complex program designed to search for information on the Internet.
Have you ever wondered how what we use every day came to be, what types of things exist on the Internet, and why all studios only work with and? Such questions should not be put off until long box. Just 10 minutes and here's another topic of conversation that you can easily support.
How search engines appeared
A long time ago, when the Internet was young and green...
Users, who, it must be said, were very few, had enough of their own bookmarks. But this did not last long: soon it became difficult for a person to navigate the diversity that appeared on the Internet in a short time.
And in order to somehow streamline the chaos, Yahoo, DMOZ and other directories were invented (some still exist to this day), into which the authors added and sorted emerging sites into categories. For a while, life became easier.
But the Internet continued to expand, and soon the size of the catalogs became something mind-bogglingly gigantic. Then the developers first thought about searching inside directories, and only then about creating an automated system for indexing everything that is on the Internet in order to simplify the work for all users.
This is how the first search robots appeared.
Which search engine was the first?
The first search engine is considered Wandex (well, confused with Yandex!).This and other early services were, of course, far from perfect. When responding to a search query, they returned something completely different from what we are used to seeing now, i.e. not the most relevant pages, and everything in a row, ignoring ranking. On January 1, 2012, Wandex was relaunched.
This is how the first PS began its work.What search engines are there?on the modern Internet? Attached is the list.
What types of search engines are there: kings of the dance floor
Surprisingly, there are those who arguehow is the search engine better. I wouldn’t do this, simply because they are different and in general it all depends on the purpose and what kind of user you are.
Yandex
This is the most popular search engine in our country. LiveInternet claims that Yandex used by 50.9%, while Google accounts for 40.6% (data from June 2015).
There is a myth that says that Yandex has many times more commercial requests than its closest competitor. A couple of times I came across the idea that, thanks to regionalism honed over the years, the type of audience or its number may vary - this is the reason for Yandex’s primacy in commercial queries. So don't believe this. They're lying.
The Google search engine is the most popular everywhere except Russia :) It has a bunch of possibilities in different directions. In general, the undisputed world leader among search robots.
Google itself appeared around the same time as Yandex, and came to us in Russia only in 2004, when Yandex strengthened its position.
The process of searching on Google has already become a household word for many earthlings. But when I tell my mom “Google”, she still goes to look for the information she needs in Yandex :) She doesn’t know at allwhat search engines exist on the Internet.
What search engines are there: a list of little-known search engines
Most Internet users don't even knowWhat search engines are there besides Yandex?and Google. So here they are;) Meet us!
The search share of this search engine can hardly be called large, but the indicators are gradually growing. Although you should not miss the fact that these numbers directly depend on Odnoklassniki, Mail.ru mail and other things from the Mail corporation.
This is real old school. Just imagine: when this search engine appeared, some SEOs were just learning to walk. In general, Rambler had a chance to rule the show in, but this did not happen for a number of reasons. Currently, it is no longer quite a search engine, but a kind of set of services that use the Yandex engine as a search - for example, they have their own . Attendance, by the way, is quite decent: a little more than a million users visit the Rambler main page per day.
Rambler also has a version Rambler Lite (all the same, only without weather, news, advertising and other things) and XRambler , which combines 15 search engines at once.
How many names has this search engine changed! Over the course of 8 years, he managed to vilify the name MSN Search, then Windows Live Search, then shortened the previous name to Live Search, and now he has come to the name Bing. Many argue that the search quality is close to the Google standard.
Now it is difficult to call Yahoo a search engine, since according to the agreement, all sites owned by Yahoo use the Bing search engine. Latest news You can find out about the agreement at Searchengines.
Webalta
Surely this so-called search engine is familiar to you. Have you had to pick it out like a tick from your browser?For a long time now, everyone has known about the dark affairs of this search engine. Alas, no one is interested in this PS. Users are only looking for articles on how to remove this crap from their computer.
Nygma
This search engine is significantly different from the rest. And if the index base of other search engines does not surprise anyone, then the ability to solve problems in chemistry and mathematics distinguishes Nigma from other search engines. Nigma also offers search for music, books, games and torrents.
The search engine, created by order of the Russian government, is considered the world's first state search engine. Offers a separate medical search (search for pharmacies, medicines and articles about diseases). A very convenient theme with “Convenient Country”, where all the recommendations that help the citizen are collected in one place. Here, for example, is the “Documents” section.
This PS is significantly different from the onewhat types of search engines are there on the Internet?. DuckDuckGo - search engine open source and an interesting policy of not using a “filter bubble”. For those who don’t know: a “filter bubble” is when a search engine shows in the search results only those search results that it (this PS) considers necessary for a specific user. At the same time, no one is interested in the opinion of the user himself. DuckDuckGo assures that using their search engine ensures that you get all the information that the search engine has.
“DuckDuckGo” is gaining momentum. Already this summer (2015), the creator of the PS reported three billion requests in annual terms.
While writing this article, I had several questions. In such cases, I don’t rely on extradition, yes, and why, if there’s a person sitting next to me who knows everything about the Internet? Mini-interview with Igor Ivanov.
Igor Ivanov
Head of SEMANTICA studio
If my site is in Google and Yandex, will my site be at the top of the results in other, smaller search engines?
There is a very high probability that this will happen. Yandex and Google are developing their algorithms in the right direction and other search engines are following their example. There was a case when Google experts noticed that the Bing search engine not only copied their algorithms, but also their search results.
Why probability and not absolute certainty? Because other search engines will not have time to adjust their ranking algorithms to the standard set by their more successful competitors.
Is it even worth promoting in Sputnik, Mail and other “our” search engines? Which search engine is better?
As expected, Google took first place in the world rankings. His share is more than 70% of search queries from residents from all over the world. Moreover, a third of all google.com traffic comes from US citizens. In addition, Google is the most visited website in the world. The average daily duration of use of the Google search engine is 9 minutes.
The advantage of the Google search engine is the absence of unnecessary elements on the page. Just a search bar and the company logo. Chip are animated pictures and browser games dedicated to popular and local holidays.
2. Bing
Bing - search engine from Microsoft, dating back to 2009. From that moment on she became mandatory attribute smartphones running Windows OS. Bing is also distinguished by minimalism - in addition to the header with a list of all Microsoft products, the page contains only a search bar and the name of the system. Bing is most popular in the USA (31%), China (18%) and Germany (6%).
3. Yahoo!
Third place went to one of oldest search engines- Yahoo. The bulk of users also live in the USA (24%). It seems that the rest of the world is deliberately avoiding the help of search robots... The search engine is also popular in India, Indonesia, Taiwan and the UK. In addition to the search bar, on the Yahoo! offers a weather forecast in your region, as well as global trends in the form of a news feed.
4. Baidu
A Chinese search engine that has gained notoriety in Russia. Due to aggressive policies and lack of translation into Russian or English languages, extensions of this search engine are perceived as viruses. It is very difficult to completely remove them and get rid of pop-up windows with hieroglyphs. However, this site is fourth in the world by attendance. 92% of its audience are Chinese citizens.
5. AOL
AOL is an American search engine whose name stands for America Online. Its popularity is significantly lower than that of previous systems. Its heyday was in the 90s and 00s. Almost 70% of AOL's audience are residents of the United States.
6.Ask.com
This search engine, dating back to 1995, has quite unusual interface. She perceives all requests as questions and offers answer options in accordance with the search results. This is somewhat reminiscent of the Answers.Mail service. However, it is not amateur answers that are included in the search results, but full-fledged articles. Behind Last year the site has lost about 50 positions in the world ranking of the most popular Internet resources and today ranks only 104th.
7.Excite
This search engine is unremarkable and similar to a lot of other sites. It offers users a lot of services (such as News, Mail, Weather, Travel, etc.) The site's interface also evokes memories of the web of the 90s and, one might assume, has changed little since then.
8.DuckDuckGo
The developers immediately warn that this search engine does not track your actions online. Nowadays, this is a significant argument when choosing a search engine. The site design is made in a modern manner, uses bright colors and funny pictures. Unlike other search engines, the “duck search engine” has been translated into Russian. Over the past year, the site has gained about 400 positions and in March 2017. is ranked 504th in the Alexa popularity rankings.
9. Wolfram Alpha
A distinctive feature of this search is the variety of auxiliary services designed for queries related to certain knowledge. That is, in the search results you will not see links to posts on social networks or articles from the yellow press. You will be offered specific numbers and verified facts in the form of a single document. This browser is ideal for schoolchildren and students.
10. Yandex
Search engine, the most popular in Russia and the CIS countries. In addition, about 3% of the site's audience are residents of Germany. The site is notable for its large number of services for all occasions (music, radio, public transport schedules, real estate, translator, etc.) The resource also offers big choice individual website design, as well as customizing widgets for yourself. Yandex ranks 31st in the world in popularity, having lost 11 positions over the past year.
