• All search engines. Internet search secrets and unusual search engines

    The Internet is necessary for many users in order to receive answers to queries (questions) that they enter.

    If there were no search engines, users would have to independently search for the sites they need, remember them, and write them down. In many cases, finding something suitable “manually” would be very difficult, and often simply impossible.

    Search engines do all this routine work of searching, storing and sorting information on websites for us.

    Let's start with famous search engines Runet.

    Internet search engines in Russian

    1) Let's start with the domestic search engine. Yandex works not only in Russia, but also works in Belarus and Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Turkey. There is also Yandex in English.

    2) Google search engine came to us from America, has Russian-language localization:

    3) Domestic search engine Mail ru, which simultaneously represents social network VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, also My World, the famous Answers Mail.ru and other projects.

    4) Intelligent search engine

    Nigma (Nigma) http://www.nigma.ru/

    Since September 19, 2017, the nigma “intellectual” has not worked. It ceased to be of financial interest to its creators; they switched to another search engine called CocCoc.

    5) The well-known company Rostelecom has created the Sputnik search engine.

    There is a search engine called Sputnik, designed specifically for children, which I wrote about.

    6) Rambler was one of the first domestic search engines:

    There are other famous search engines in the world:

    • Bing,
    • Yahoo!,
    • DuckDuckGo,
    • Baidu,
    • Ecosia,

    Let's try to figure out how a search engine works, namely, how sites are indexed, analyzed indexing results and generated search results. The principles of operation of search engines are approximately the same: searching for information on the Internet, storing it and sorting it for delivery in response to user requests. But the algorithms that search engines use can differ greatly. These algorithms are kept secret and its disclosure is prohibited.

    By entering the same query into the search strings of different search engines, you can get different answers. The reason is that all search engines use their own algorithms.

    The purpose of search engines

    First of all, you need to know that search engines are commercial organizations. Their goal is to make a profit. Profit can be made from contextual advertising, other types of advertising, from promoting the necessary sites to the top of the search results. In general, there are many ways.

    It depends on the size of the audience, that is, how many people use this search engine. The larger the audience, the more advertisements will be shown to people. Accordingly, this advertising will cost more. Search engines can increase their audience through their own advertising, as well as by attracting users by improving the quality of their services, algorithm and search convenience.

    The most important and difficult thing here is the development of a fully functioning search algorithm that would provide relevant results for the majority of user queries.

    The work of a search engine and the actions of webmasters

    Each search engine has its own algorithm, which must take into account a huge number of different factors when analyzing information and compiling results in response to a user’s request:

    • the age of a particular site,
    • website domain characteristics,
    • quality of content on the site and its types,
    • features of navigation and site structure,
    • usability (convenience for users),
    • behavioral factors (the search engine can determine whether the user found what he was looking for on the site or the user returned to the search engine again and there again looks for an answer to the same query)
    • etc.

    All this is necessary precisely so that the results at the user’s request are as relevant as possible, satisfying the user’s requests. At the same time, search engine algorithms are constantly changing and being refined. As they say, there is no limit to perfection.

    On the other hand, webmasters and optimizers are constantly inventing new ways to promote their sites, which are not always honest. The task of the developers of the search engine algorithm is to make changes to it that would not allow “bad” sites of dishonest optimizers to appear in the TOP.

    How does a search engine work?

    Now about how it happens direct work search engine. It consists of at least three stages:

    • scanning,
    • indexing,
    • ranging.

    The number of sites on the Internet is simply astronomical. And every site is information, information content that is created for readers (living people).

    Scanning

    This is a search engine wandering around the Internet to collect new information, analyze links and search for new content that can be used to return to the user in response to his requests. For scanning, search engines have special robots called search robots or spiders.

    Search robots are programs that automatic mode visit websites and collect information from them. The crawl can be primary (the robot visits a new site for the first time). After the initial collection of information from the site and entering it into the search engine database, the robot begins to visit its pages with some regularity. If any changes have occurred (added new content, the old one was deleted), then all these changes will be recorded by the search engine.

    The main task of a search spider is to find new information and give it to the search engine for next stage processing, that is, for indexing.

    Indexing

    A search engine can search for information only among those sites that are already included in its database (indexed by it). If crawling is the process of searching and collecting information that is available on a particular site, then indexing is the process of entering this information into the search engine database. At this stage, the search engine automatically decides whether to enter this or that information into its database and where to enter it, in which section of the database. For example, Google indexes almost all the information found by its robots on the Internet, while Yandex is more picky and does not index everything.

    For new sites, the indexing stage can be long, so visitors from search engines may wait a long time for new sites. And new information that appears on old, well-promoted sites can be indexed almost instantly and almost immediately end up in the “index”, that is, in the search engine database.

    Ranging

    Ranking is the arrangement of information that was previously indexed and entered into the database of a particular search engine, according to rank, that is, what information the search engine will show to its users in the first place, and what information will be placed “rank” lower. Ranking can be attributed to the stage of search engine service to its client – ​​the user.

    On the search engine servers, the received information is processed and results are generated for a huge range of all kinds of queries. This is where the search engine algorithms come into play. All sites included in the database are classified by topic, and topics are divided into groups of requests. For each group of requests, a preliminary issue can be compiled, which will subsequently be adjusted.

    As expected, Google took first place in the world rankings. His share is more than 70% 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 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, it became a mandatory attribute of smartphones running Windows OS. Bing also features minimalism - in addition to the header with a list of all Microsoft products, on the page there is only search string 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 the 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. Over the past 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 remarkable a large number services for all occasions (music, radio, schedule public transport, real estate, translator, etc.) The resource also offers a large selection of 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.

    To find necessary files on a computer, we have already looked at the standard features that are available in Windows system initially. You can read more about standard search in Windows in the articles: and.

    The advantage of standard search is that you don’t need to install anything additional on your computer!

    But there is also serious drawback, - not everyone’s standard search works or doesn’t work as well as we would like!

    Therefore, in this article we will look at a separate excellent free program Everything, which allows you to very quickly, one might even say instantly (on the fly), find the necessary files on your computer!

    Using the Everything program, you can search for files on your computer not only by the full names of the files, but even by part of the word! This is a great feature for situations where we don't remember the name of the entire file.

    We simply enter a word or part of a word in the search field and immediately get the result! At the same time, surprisingly, Everything does not slow down the computer at all, as happens with other programs.

    Everything - fast, easy and convenient program to search for files and folders on your computer.

    Let's start with a step-by-step analysis of installing and using this program.

    How to download Everything in Russian

    Let's say I don't remember where this book is stored on my computer.

    To find it using the program Everything, I don't have to type in all this long book title. I can enter just a word book and get this result:

    IN in this case a search showed me that I have 33 elements in which the word appears book. Moreover search results displays all items by file type, highlighting the word I was looking for.

    And I can already find the file I need in the displayed list and go to it, just by quickly clicking on it twice. If it is a file, it will open immediately. If this is a folder with files, the folder will open.

    Or I can narrow the search so that the list is a smaller file. For example, I’ll write the word the most. Instantly I get the folder I need:

    As you can see, finding files and folders on your computer is very easy with Everything. I'm glad that it's free, in Russian, and provides search results very quickly!

    Additional settings Everything

    Program Everything initially already optimally configured for most users. However there is additional features, which can be used if necessary.

    So, for example, using the menu Search You can specify by what criteria to display results: by files of certain formats, by folders, or everything. Such restrictions may be useful if the name appears in different files and the list of such files is large. And thanks to the restriction on certain categories, you can narrow your search precisely:

    It would also be helpful to simply review the functions that can be found in the menu Service-> Settings. I repeat that by default everything is already configured for the requests of most users, but perhaps some additional settings You will want to enable or disable.

    Portable version of the Everything search program

    At the beginning of the article, we already talked about such a portable version of this program. Use the portable version as well as the stationary one. It is only worth mentioning that the portable version is archived.

    Therefore, after downloading the archive of the portable version, you need an archiver so that you can open the archive. If the downloaded archive cannot be opened, it means that the archiver is not installed on the computer. In this case, download and install, the installation and use of which we have already discussed in a separate article.

    If you plan to use portable version on a computer where you don’t know what bit depth, use an archive designed for 32 bit systems. Or it’s better to download both versions - one will definitely start, but otherwise it will simply display the message:

    So: If you even have to search for files or folders on your computer from time to time, I am sure you will appreciate this free program!

    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 quick search information required by the user stored on servers ( special computers) 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 provide you with a more detailed list of these systems so that you have a more complete understanding of all this.

    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 is simply of great importance, since any of them will work hard 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, e-mail, 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.

    Google

    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 such competitors 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 of the total number of requests it has.

    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 latest news about various areas of 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 annoyed me a couple of years ago, when after installing some application, Webalta got up as home page and default 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 the most different tasks and standard user services.

    But for now this is probably the least popular service from 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 basically know all the main search engines in Russian, and you can 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.
