Video: make Yandex your start page

As you can see, through simple combinations, provided you carefully search for all the necessary options, setting up the Yandex start page is a very exciting experience. Now you can quickly find the information you need or proceed to use programs and options.

Every Internet user uses search engines to find the necessary information. How to search for information in Yandex? At first glance, everything looks quite simple and easy. We go to the Internet, open the main page of the search engine, write down the question that interests us and begin to study and sort the answers obtained as a result of the search.

But not everyone knows that they have some secrets that can make searching for information easier, more accessible and enjoyable.

Let's consider the main features and capabilities of this system.

How to correctly search for information in Yandex with a query in a few words?

How to search correctly in Yandex? The very first thing that needs to be done is to formulate the request itself as accurately as possible. It must include two or more words. When you enter it into the search bar, the system traditionally returns similar queries and synonymous words. For example, you need to find an answer to the question: “Where can I have a good rest?” In the search bar, when you enter a query, synonymous words and sentences begin to be added, leading to the sites of the services offered (at sea, in Egypt, in India). Some people like this because it makes searching much easier, but some find it distracting. If you belong to the latter category, then try to accurately formulate the question to which you want to find the answer in Yandex. Alternatively, put it in regular quotes and write it in the input line.

If you forgot a word, you can put any sign in its place. For example: enter a line in quotes, and put “*” in place of the unknown word.

For example, in Yandex, search for: “Diagnostic * in gynecology.” Using this formulation is convenient when searching and selecting quotes, lines from famous books, poems, when some words are simply forgotten.

It is convenient to search for information in Yandex because it provides answers to the synonyms found. You can also list synonyms in the search bar, putting them in brackets and separating them with the sign I. For example: “successful conduct of (business I business I entrepreneurship).”

How to search correctly in Yandex, using all the capabilities of the sign system

But what if you need to find sites where the specified query should be used completely and without changes? How to search exactly in Yandex? To do this, enter the complete sentence into the search bar using the & sign.

Let's look at an example: “In order & to use & the & five & secrets & of & effective & communication & you need & the following.”

It happens that when you enter a large query, the search engine produces unnecessary links that make the search much more difficult. If you want the sentences to contain a specific word, then search using the “+” sign: “Learning English + courses.”

In Yandex, look for answers to questions that contain general information (for example, about the product being sold, the services offered), without wasting time viewing pages about their sale.

Have you decided to purchase a specific car, but just want to get acquainted with its characteristics? Then enter “CITROËN C4 PICASSO - buy” in the search bar.

Possibilities

In Yandex, search for information using the following options:

1. If you need to access a specific site, then indicate it in the request. Example: “Clothing site: http: site name.”

2. You can find a specific document by specifying its type in the search bar.

3. If you need to find information in a specific language, then enter the following command. Example: Michael Jackson lang: en (you can specify any necessary language - ru, uk, be).

The Yandex search system provides the opportunity to search not only for information by entering verbal queries: you can also find videos and pictures that interest you, create a mailbox and access letters around the clock.

Search for pictures and images

Consider the possibility of searching for images. How to search for pictures in Yandex?

The system finds the exact or similar image and provides the result. The picture can be saved on the user's computer or on the Internet.

Please note: the image must be in jpeg, gif, png format and must not exceed 8 MB in size.

We perform the following steps:

2. Upload the image. If the image has its own Internet address, then enter it in the search bar or upload a picture from your computer that was previously saved. You can use a simple method: using the left mouse button, drag the picture to the specified location.

Searching for similar images allows the user to explore other images. For example, you liked a thing and want to purchase it in the future. By uploading a picture to the Yandex system, you can view similar items, the offered assortment, and also select a site with sales conditions that suit you.

The most popular queries in Yandex

Internet users may have a question: “What is most often searched for in Yandex?” This may seem strange, but people are interested in the number of most frequently entered queries, keywords, and query sizes. In order to find the answer to one question, a person spends approximately 2-3 minutes. A huge number of queries consist of several words (3-5), and there are fewer and fewer single-word ones. These include, for example, the names of social networks, mail, and adult sites. There is also a large number of qualifying words: buy, sell, find, download, price, free, cost, delivery.

In short, the system is so versatile that it can satisfy a wide variety of information search needs for users.

Conclusion

These are the main recommendations that simplify the search for information in the Yandex system, open up the possibility of using sites that contain the necessary information and answer the question of how to correctly search in Yandex. By putting our tips into practice, you will see that finding the information you need will be much easier. And the result will please you: you will get rid of the “water” 100%, getting exactly what you wanted. Now you know how to search for information in Yandex. Go for it!

Today we set off on another long journey of travel along the ornate paths of search engine development ( Yandex, Yandex). I think that the domestic giant of online search has long since grown to such a level that it is not too lazy to dig into all its nooks and crannies, remember how the Yandex search engine developed, and what was interesting during all the years of its existence.

Moreover, it receives a lot of visitors from the Yandex search engine. Many of them leave through contextual advertising, I recently took over the blog, so I think that this company is more than worthy of a big publication being written about it.

If we take into account the Russian Internet, then Yandex is the undisputed leader. In Russia it is the first most important search engine. There are regional search engines, sort of branches in Belarus, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. Yandex is very popular among residents of these countries. I can judge this at least by statistics, seeing that many visitors come from other regions.

Currently, Yandex is not only a search engine, it is also numerous services that absolutely all users of this search engine can access. Here you can find the information you need, and navigate your choice of leisure activities, find pictures, products, compare prices, check the weather, communicate on a social network, watch TV and transport schedules. There are numerous enterprise solutions. You can even go to Narod.ru. Yandex has a convenient system that provides functionality for working with your websites. Among the latest available innovations of the service is, which remained paid for quite a long time, but in December 2011 this service became available to absolutely everyone.

I could go on and on about the wonderful technologies and useful services of Yandex for a very, very long time. Therefore, for ease of perception of information, I will break our journey into components. I will describe the entire path of the search engine in chronological order by year - from creation to the present day.

History of Yandex development

1980s - 1990s

History of the development of Yandex takes its roots back to the now distant 80s, during the time of the USSR. It was then that the development of search software first began at Arcadia. The work was carried out under the leadership of Arkady Borkovsky and Arkady Volozh. That's the first one search technology received the name "Yandex". And the Yandex website itself, the one we can see today, appeared in 1996. The developments that were being carried out at that time were recognized as promising, as a result of which the management of CompTek (sales of computers and components) and the system developers decided on the advisability of further development of the technology and its introduction to the masses. In this regard, a project development concept was prepared, aimed at a wide audience.

Yandex was officially announced only on September 23, 1997. And in fact, at first it was one of the divisions of CompTek International. That is, there was no independence there at all. And only in 2000 Yandex became the company it can be seen today. In the sense that the company has already become completely independent. Independent Yandex.

By the way, long before the announcement of the Yandex search engine, the company came up with a name. Yandex – means “Language index”. If translated from English, it turns out “Yet Another indexer”. True, then, as the search engine developed, other interpretations began to appear. For example, if in the English Index you translate the first letter (I – Z) from English into Russian, you get “Yandex”.

The name “Yandex” was invented by Ilya Segalovich (current director of technology) and Arkady Volozh

A year before the official release of the company, on October 18, 1996, the Netcom’96 exhibition was held, at which CompTek presented the first products of the developing search engine. These were Yandex.Site and Yandex.Dict. Then, six months later, Yandex.CD appeared - searching for documents on CD ROM, and then the Yandex.Lib project started. It was a Yandex package library, which was intended for embedding in all kinds of applications and databases.

At the time when Yandex.ru was officially presented to the public, the following were interesting:

Assessing the relevance of documents. At that time, Yandex was quite good at finding copies and excluding them. At the same time, documents were searched in various encodings

Search by exact word form. Yashka knew how to search taking into account morphology

Search based on distance. Yandex could search within a paragraph using exact phrases

The core for assessing the relevance of pages was functioning. For each request, documents were selected taking into account compliance (relevance) to the request. In addition, when selecting documents for search results, the frequency (density) of the keyword on the page was taken into account. By the way, precisely because of the imperfection (at that time) of this algorithm, pages densely packed with keywords, practically without meaning, appeared in the top search results.

Also, during the search, the distance between words and how the words are located in the document were taken into account

Yandex website design

The very first design for the Yandex website was quite primitive and imperfect. It was developed by the well-known Artemy Lebedev. He looked like this

By the way, the Yandex forum opened in the same year. Intended for communication between system users and developers. The idea was good, and the forum functioned normally. True, it existed until 2008. Then there was a slight reshuffling of priorities. As far as I can tell, preference was given to socialization. Yandex also began to actively develop its own social network, on the basis of which the current blog appeared, where all Yandex announcements are published, and where, in fact, users communicate with developers. You can see for yourself, the old forum URL ( http://forum.yandex.ru/yandex/) today a redirect is known to everyone http://webmaster.ya.ru/.

1998

The project, which was launched, showed good potential, and they continued to work on it. In 1998, the search engine was improved and many other functionalities were introduced for users. In particular, it became possible to search through what was found, search for similar documents, and much more. Work is also underway on the design of the Yandex home page. She's changed a little now

As you can see, outwardly nothing much has changed. Most of the technical work was carried out

1999

Over the year, the audience of the Russian share of the Internet has grown significantly. Along with it, the quality and technology of Yandex have grown, and the developers have introduced many improvements. The Yandex search engine has introduced a new search bot, which has significantly increased the speed of crawling documents on the network.

The innovations that affected the user parts of the functionality were as follows:

It is now possible to search more specifically - by annotations, captions, pictures, titles

We introduced a search restriction on a group of sites

Documents in Russian were highlighted separately

By the way, it was in 1999 that the now well-known concept (thematic citation index) was first introduced. True, then it was calculated quite primitively. The authority of the site (aka TIC) depended to a large extent on the number of sites that linked to the domain of interest to us.

The design of the main page, by the way, has also changed. Now it has become something more similar to the current one

There was another significant event in 1999. It was then that a free website builder appeared, better known to all of us as Narod.ru (free hosting and file sharing service). By the way, this project still exists. The motto of this project was: in 60 seconds.

2000

Perhaps it was the introduction of new services that allowed Yandex to reach a fundamentally new level of development. Over time, the search engine firmly established its status, which made it possible to significantly In fact, this was a new project, not the one that started under the auspices of CompTek.

In 1999, Arkady Volozh, realizing the prospects for the development of the project, began to focus only on promoting Yandex. But the difficulty was that it was necessary to find experienced partners with corporate construction skills. The only difficulty was that it was necessary to find partners who would invest in the development of the project, but would not require a complete transfer of management under their leadership.

And such a partner was found. It was a company ru-Net Holdings. In the spring of 2000, an investment agreement was concluded with this company. Here, however, there were some casualties. Still, I had to give up a certain share of the search engine. According to the agreement, the company received 1/3 of the search engine. That is, from that moment on, Yandex ceased to be a structural division of CompTek, but became an independent company that had its own offices, its own management, its own budget, etc. Arkady Volozh became the general director of the company.

I think that Yandex was very lucky with its first leader, because Volozh turned out to be not only a specialist in finding potential partners, but also a good innovator. After the start of independent “swimming”, tremendous changes began in the company. The staff has been significantly replenished, and the resource itself has received a new kick from its leaders.

In total, ru-Net Holdings invested about $5 million. What can I say, the deal turned out to be very profitable, especially considering the fact that today the number one search engine in RuNet will cost at least several hundred million dollars. This is at the most conservative estimate.

The year 2000 was also significant for the reason that it was in this year that the multiportality of Yandex began to emerge more clearly, because many services began to appear that were not directly tied to search. Such services were Yandex.News, Yandex.Mail, Postcards, and the search bar at ya.ru. In addition, there were many services that subsequently merged, becoming what we know today as Yandex.Market. In addition, another significant innovation was the introduction of specialized software for integration into user browsers - Yandex Bar.

2001

This year was a turning point, because in 2001 Yandex became the leader of the Runet in terms of traffic. In addition, the amount of information stored on the company’s servers has also increased. Its size was 1 terabyte. By the way, Yandex.Images also appeared this year. In addition, the electronic payment system Yandex.Money has appeared

In addition, the design of the Yandex home page has been more significantly improved. Here are links to new services and news. We can say that in general the outlines of today's Yandex have already appeared

2002

This year, developers have been actively working to improve the communication service - Yandex.Mail. A lot of work has been done to filter correspondence. 2002 was the year of the merger of three services - Products, Guru and Select into one - Yandex.Market. By the way, you can see for yourself that this service is very relevant even today. Perhaps for the first time in all the years of investing, a goal appeared in 2002 - to achieve self-sufficiency. It was necessary to develop a strategic system for monetizing the project. Moreover, one that would bring stable and large profits in the future. It became such a model, and it was precisely the income that the company began to receive from this advertising model that made it possible to achieve self-sufficiency much earlier than expected. Therefore, we can say that 2002 was a turning point in terms of entering a business-oriented model, which, moreover, has already begun to bear fruit.

2003

This year, active work on the Yandex.Mail service continued. Here, the next massive changes were introduced, affecting all users of the system. Of course, Ya.Mail has become more functional and convenient. Looking ahead, I want to say that in the future the service has also developed very actively, and its users have seen many new interesting features more than once. In particular, users received unlimited mailbox size and a new “Spam Defense” spam filter. In 2003, Yandex's design was updated again.

By the way, each design corresponded to a specific version. The 2003 version of the design was the eighth in a row, and looked like this

Any release of a new design version initially goes through a beta testing period. And if before this the beta tests were carried out in closed mode, then this time, during two weeks of trial testing of the new interface, anyone could gain access to the new interface. True, a year later the main one was upgraded again, but more successfully. And it existed in this form until 2007.

Even at that time, Yandex was already a fairly reputable company, because already in 2003 the Yandex search engine was successfully implemented into the presidential website. In the fall of 2003, the developers rolled out the next product updates: Yandex.Publisher, Yandex.Server (Yandex.Server), which became the legacy of Yandex.Site.

2004

The business model occupied by the number one search engine in RuNet worked very well, as a result of which the profit received by the company in 2004 already amounted to tens of millions of dollars. This gave impetus to the development of new services, for example, a search service on a map, blogs, and forums. The year 2004 is also notable for the fact that it was then that a serious competitor appeared on the Russian market in the person of Google. There was an urgent need to enter into the struggle for leadership, as a result of which Yandex management decided to increase its staff tenfold. Initially there were 200, after updating the staff there were 2,000 employees. But the main thing is that after the staff renewal nothing changed for the worse. The traditions remained, the technologies were also up to date. And in general, we can say that Yasha has not turned into a dry corporation.

Battle of technologies: Yandex vs Google

2005

This year passed under the slogan of geographical expansion of the company's representative office. Because the Ukrainian representative office of Yandex appeared - Yandex.Ukraine. By the way, the director of this representative office is Sergey Petrenko, the founder of the well-known search and the author of the interesting blog BloGnot

The year 2005 was also significant because my favorite one opened. This is a service based on the “kolotibablo webmaster” principle, and in Russian, it is a service that allows webmasters to place advertisements on their sites.

In the same year, Yandex.Dictionaries appeared. Changes have also occurred in the Yandex.Money service. Now all users have the opportunity to manage their account through an online wallet.

2006

This year will be remembered for the emergence of the now well-known service blogs.yandex.ru. This is a kind of marketing tool. Allowed me to study public opinion, reviews on blogs and forums. Yandex.Maps has introduced a tool for displaying traffic jams.

From 2006 to 2010, Yandex was located in an old office on Samokatnaya Street in Moscow

As you can see, previously they were a bit cramped. This is not now, a huge building for 2000 employees.

In 2006, there was another interesting event - the first remote development office was opened in St. Petersburg. Then, of course, the scale was not yet the same. This is not like today Yandex has 11 offices in Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and even California. Offices vary by type of activity. There are offices involved in development, sales offices, offices that work in the area of ​​product localization

2007

This year there have been events that are more focused on webmasters. In particular, the Yandex.Photos service appeared. But for me, as a webmaster, a more interesting event is the appearance of the service Yandex.Metrica. True, at that time it was a completely crude service, and it was not aimed at webmasters, but at Yandex.Direct advertisers. In the same year, a Ukrainian representative office was opened - Yandex.ua. Today, according to LiveInternet, almost 14% of Russian-language traffic comes from yandex.ua

Also in 2007, a project known to all webmasters was launched, which is probably only lazy people not using now

2008

We can say that this year the sphere of influence of Yandex has increased so much that it was decided to open a branch of the search engine in the USA, California. At the same time, significant additions were made to the algorithms. In particular, international standards Sitemap, MediaRSS, etc. began to be supported. That is, as you can see, the areas of interest have gone far beyond the RuNet. The number one search engine on the RuNet has now become English-language sites. Before this, the problem was that the domestic search engine did not support international standards, and therefore there was a problem with indexing sites from the burzhunet, but after the upgrade in 2008, this problem was solved. And after that, the Yandex logo began to be written entirely in Russian.

2009

This year was significant because before that there was no division of search by region. That is, before the introduction of this algorithm, it was built on the principles of uniformity. For example, you enter the query “” into the search bar in Moscow and Novosibirsk, and you get the same results. Now everything has changed. And results based on the principle of geo-dependence are mixed into the search results. To put it simply, if you search using Yandex in Moscow and Novosibirsk, the results will be different.

In 2009, work continued in the previously chosen western direction. In particular, a service was tested that was used to translate foreign sites. Then this service evolved, and in 2011 it became known as Yandex.Translation.

An equally important event was the introduction of a new machine learning method - Matrixnet. This technology uses various patterns as an assessment and takes into account various ranking factors. But the main thing is that the technology is self-learning. When evaluating assessors, only real patterns are assessed, and the discovery of non-existent ones is completely excluded.

The revolutionary nature of this technology lies in the fact that Matrixnet uses an incredibly complex ranking formula that takes into account a huge number of factors. This, on the one hand, allows you to achieve better search results, but on the other hand, it will not allow webmasters to understand this pattern, and, therefore, influence it in their own interests.

More details about matrixnet technology:

2010

The old office on Samokatnaya Street is a thing of the past, and the entire company has moved to new mansions. In fact, this became the main event of 2010

But I think it will be better understood if you watch the video. This is an excursion for students of the Faculty of Management in the Field of Internet Technologies"

As for the development of the search engine specifically within the search, in 2010 yandex.com, yandex.by and the Tatar version of search began to work in full swing.

It is also worth noting that the share of Yandex users in Ukraine has increased significantly, where a regional search has also appeared, called “Poltava”. This technology was also implemented through the use of Matrixnet, which had already been successfully tested at Snezhinsk. The Yandex.Maps service has grown significantly, which now has a serious investor lobbying for its interests - the cartographic company GIS Technologies.

2011

The most outstanding event was the company's entry into the high-tech stock exchange. NASDAQ. This event will be better known to investors as Yandex IPO, i.e. initial public offering. Usually, for many companies such a start is not very successful. For example, Facebook's IPO did not go as smoothly as planned. And this is Facebook, one of the leaders of the world Internet, a huge traffic aggregator.

In just one hour after the start of trading, the price of Yandex shares increased by 40% compared to the initial price. As a result, the company's capitalization became more than $11 billion. As a result, shareholders of the number one search engine received $873.38 million from the IPO, and the company itself received $365.75 million. Investors from the United States and Europe showed the greatest activity. At the same time, apparently, they were focused on the long term.

Today it is especially profitable to invest in shares of high-tech companies, especially such as Yandex. And, especially since against the background of IPOs of other Russian companies, Yandex looks very significant.

As a result of the initial public offering of shares on the NASDAQ exchange, Yandex took second place among all Internet companies that have ever held such events. Only the search giant Google remained ahead, which was able to gain $1.67 billion as a result of its IPO in 2004. We can say that this event only consolidated the status of Yandex as the leader in the Russian share of the Internet, and the once small company grew into a huge corporation, while maintaining These are the distinctive features that have already become familiar to all of us.

If you have long wanted to make it easier and faster to find the Yandex home page and make it the start page of your browser, then this article is for you! What makes it easier to work with a search engine if it is set as the “start page”?

When you open your browser, the search agent page automatically opens, saving you time and effort. Knowing how to set a web page as your home page is very useful.

After all, you can not waste extra time and immediately open the page of interest in your browser. Carrying out this setup is not at all difficult, but some novice Internet users may not know how this is done.

Two main competitors - Yandex and Google

Now we can distinguish 2 main search services - Yandex and Google . Among the Russian-speaking population, naturally, the search engine Yandex is in the lead and there are many reasons for this leadership. Yandex differs from its competitor in a number of advantages:

1. High information content. From the start page you can immediately access all search engine services: news, posters, weather, mail, etc. You can even customize it as you wish thanks to additional widgets and modules.
2. High quality of information output.
3. Pleasant appearance, which can also be customized to your preferences thanks to Yandex themes, which are constantly updated.

The easiest way to set up the Yandex.ru start page is use this special application, which Yandex itself offers. You can install this application using the link http://home.yandex.ru/. Thanks to this application, Yandex will automatically be installed as the home page in all browsers. In this case, no additional manual settings are required. If this application does not work or you simply do not want to download an additional program, you can make the settings manually in each browser.

Manual Yandex settings in various browsers

The steps for installing the home page are almost identical for all browsers, but, nevertheless, each browser has small features of securing the start page. We will look in detail at how to make Yandex the home page for key browsers:

1. Mozilla Firefox;
2. Opera;
3. Google Chrome;
4. Internet Explorer;
5. Yandex Browser;
6. Safari.

The most popular and convenient browsers according to Internet users

Yandex home page in Mozilla Firefox

The first browser we will consider is Mozilla Firefox, which is the leader among Russian users.

To set your home page, go to the settings menu in the upper right corner or simply type “about:preferences” in your browser’s address bar.

In this section, in the “Home Page” or “Home Page” line, indicate the address of the start page, namely http://www.yandex.ru/, and click the “Ok” button.

A nice feature of modern browsers is the lack of case sensitivity, that is, the browser will not care whether you write the site address in capital or small letters.

Yandex start page in Opera

As mentioned earlier, the settings in all browsers are very similar, so setting up the home page in Opera will be almost the same as in Mozilla.

To do this, open the menu in the browser and select the “Settings” section.

The latest versions of browsers are very similar, and accordingly, the settings of many parameters are also the same, including the home page settings

Then click the “Set pages” button and in the window that appears, in the “Add new page” line, indicate the address http://www.yandex.ru/.

You can add several pages to the list at once, so that when you start the browser, several tabs will open.

If at the time of installing the start page you have a Yandex page open in your browser, then you don’t have to enter the address manually, but just click the “Use current pages” button and the Yandex address will be displayed automatically.

After all the steps, click the “Ok” button.

Home page in Google Chrome

Setting up a quick access page in Google Chrome is as easy as in the previous options.

To do this, in the browser “Menu” (the button in the form of 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner), select “Settings”.

In older versions of Google Chrome, the “Menu” section may be located in the right corner of the browser.

The Settings section of Google Chrome is very similar to the same section in the Opera browser. Isn't it?)

A tab has opened where you need to enter the home page address, in our case this is the Yandex address. We agree with our changes and click “Ok”.

As in previous browsers, you can simplify the task and click the “Use current pages” button if the search engine page is already open in the browser.

Yandex home page in Internet Explorer

Now there are many versions of this browser that are installed on computers or laptops, so let’s consider installing the Yandex home page on the latest versions of Internet Explorer - 10 and 11. If you have an earlier version of this browser installed, the installation process will be similar to the algorithm below and it won’t be difficult for you to independently install Yandex as the start page on your browser.

Four simple steps to set up a home page for Internet Explorer:

1. You need to open the browser settings menu (top right);
2. Select the “Internet Options” tab;
3. In the “General” section, find the “Home Page” item and enter the address http://www.yandex.ru/ in the empty line.
4. In the “Startup” item, check the box next to “Start from the home page” and click “OK”.

Home page YANDEX In Yandex browser

The appearance of the Yandex browser is similar to the Google Chrome interface, however, there are some differences when setting up the home page.

Home page pinning scheme:

• Open your browser settings.

The Settings section is represented by a gear icon at the top of the page
