Phil Bradley hat sich die russische Suchmaschine Yandex genau angeschaut und kommt im Artikel “Yandex – an alternative to Google” zu folgendem Fazit:
“Yandex is a great search engine. It’s very powerful, and it really does match or exceed Google in almost every area. If you’re an advanced or specialist searcher, Yandex really does deserve your attention. The elephant in the room with it is of course the fact that it’s Russian. However, I don’t see why this should detract – in fact if anything it may give a slightly different perspective on the results that you get. However, don’t take my word for it – try Yandex out for yourself!”
Update vom 30.3.2016: David Haden von jurn.org hat Yandex getestet:
“I’ve been testing the English version of the major Russian search-engine Yandex for the last month. I’ve found it to be a useful alternative search engine, one with a surprisingly wide range and depth. In terms of the reach of its plain Web search I’d say it’s comparable with DuckDuckGo, though it can’t match the excellent relevancy-ranking of DuckDuckGo’s Image Search.”
