History[edit]

Name[edit]

In 1993, Arkady Volozh and Ilya Segalovich, friends since their school days and by then working together to develop search software,[20] invented the word «Yandex» to describe their search technologies. The name initially stood for «Yet Another iNDEXer».[21] However, this is also a bilingual pun on «index» since «Я» («ya») means «I» in Russian. Another pun is based on the yin and yang contrast (Russian: инь – индекс, ян – яндекс).

Development[edit]

Between 1993 and 1996, the company continued developing its search technologies and released software for searching the Bible.[21] The Yandex.ru search engine was launched on September 23, 1997, and was presented at the Softool exhibition in Moscow.[22] Initially, the search engine was developed by Comptek. In 2000, Yandex was incorporated as a standalone company by Arkady Volozh.[21]

In 1998, Yandex launched contextual advertisement on its search engine.

In September 2005, it opened an office in Ukraine[23] and launched www.yandex.ua.[24] In 2007, Yandex introduced a customized search engine for Ukrainian users;[25] Yandex also opened its development center in Kyiv in May 2007. In 2008, Yandex extended its presence in Ukraine by increasing bandwidth between Moscow data centers and UA-IX in Ukraine fivefold.[26] In 2009, all services of www.yandex.ua were localized for the Ukrainian market.[27] In 2010, Yandex launched its «Poltava» search engine algorithm for Ukrainian users, based on its MatrixNet technology.[28]

In 2013, Yandex became the largest media property in Russia by revenue.[79]

Security[edit]

On June 1, 2017, Yandex closed its offices in Kyiv and Odessa, Ukraine after the Security Service of Ukraine raided the offices and accused the company of illegally collecting Ukrainian users’ data and sending it to Russian security agencies.[80] The firm denied any wrongdoing. In May 2017, all Yandex services were banned in Ukraine by Presidential Decree No. 133/2017.[81]

In October and November 2018, Yandex was targeted in a cyberattack using the Regin malware, aimed at stealing technical information from its research and development unit on how users were authenticated.[82] An investigation by Kaspersky Lab attributed the hacks to Five Eyes intelligence agencies.[82]

In June 2019, RBC News reported that Yandex had refused a request by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) under the Yarovaya law to surrender encryption keys that could decrypt the private data of its e-mail service and cloud storage users. The company argued that it was impossible to comply with the relevant law without compromising its users’ privacy.[83] Maxim Akimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, said that the government will take action to relieve FSB pressure on the company.[84] Alexander Zharov, head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, subsequently said that Yandex and the FSB had reached an agreement where the company would provide the required data without handing over the encryption keys.[85]

In February 2021 Yandex admitted that one of their system administrators with access rights to Yandex’s email service had enabled unauthorized access, leading to almost 5,000 Yandex email inboxes being compromised.[86]

Games[edit]

Yandex.Games is Internet gaming platform made by Yandex, which is available on both browser and mobile.[citation needed] As of January 2022, the number of games included in the catalog exceeded 7000, with more than 11 million players a month.[87] The platform provides two types of income: advertising and in-app purchases. There is also an in-game currency called «Yans».[87]

Developers add their games to the catalog independently and edit them in the future. All games are moderated. Mandatory requirements include integration with the Yandex.Games SDK, support for HTTPS and offline Service Worker mode.[88] Game developers follow the updates of the platform in the blog, and content is provided by companies all over the world (e.g. Dutch media platform Azerion[89]).

In addition to a wide system of user ratings and reviews, the service uses complex algorithms to create personalized collections: games that have already been played, or those that are likely to be played.[90]

On April 28, 2022, Yandex announced that it sold News and Blogging Products to VK.

News and media[edit]

In April 2014, a movie about the history of Yandex called Startup was released.[91]

On April 20, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, Yandex made its home coronavirus testing service free of charge for all residents of Moscow and its surroundings, and will be available to other regions in the future. Previously, it announced the launch of the service on April 16.[92]

In late March 2022, Yandex was the subject of a Financial Times investigation that had been initiated by the nonprofit organization Me2B Alliance as part of an application auditing campaign led by researcher Zach Edwards. Edwards and four expert researchers, including Cher Scarlett, a former Apple security engineer, found that a software development kit (SDK) called AppMetrica, a product of Yandex, was harvesting data from more than 52,000 applications such as a user’s device fingerprint and IP address and storing it in Russia on Yandex’s servers, which they said due to Russian law, and the nature of SDKs, could be accessed by Russian authorities without their knowledge and used to identify them. Yandex said of identification by the data collected: «Although theoretically possible, in practice it is extremely hard to identify users based solely on such information collected.» Of authority requests for data they said: «Any requests that fail to comply with all relevant procedural and legal requirements are turned down.»[93][94]

According to Meduza investigation published on 5 May 2022, since 2016 the top-5 news on the Yandex’s main page are formed on the basis of a secret list of Russian media approved by Presidential Administration of Russia, which includes only pro-Kremlin media.[95]

History[edit]

Name[edit]

In 1993, Arkady Volozh and Ilya Segalovich, friends since their school days and by then working together to develop search software,[20] invented the word «Yandex» to describe their search technologies. The name initially stood for «Yet Another iNDEXer».[21] However, this is also a bilingual pun on «index» since «Я» («ya») means «I» in Russian. Another pun is based on the yin and yang contrast (Russian: инь – индекс, ян – яндекс).

Development[edit]

Between 1993 and 1996, the company continued developing its search technologies and released software for searching the Bible.[21] The Yandex.ru search engine was launched on September 23, 1997, and was presented at the Softool exhibition in Moscow.[22] Initially, the search engine was developed by Comptek. In 2000, Yandex was incorporated as a standalone company by Arkady Volozh.[21]

In 1998, Yandex launched contextual advertisement on its search engine.

In September 2005, it opened an office in Ukraine[23] and launched www.yandex.ua.[24] In 2007, Yandex introduced a customized search engine for Ukrainian users;[25] Yandex also opened its development center in Kyiv in May 2007.

In 2013, Yandex became the largest media property in Russia by revenue.[79]

Security[edit]

On June 1, 2017, Yandex closed its offices in Kyiv and Odessa, Ukraine after the Security Service of Ukraine raided the offices and accused the company of illegally collecting Ukrainian users’ data and sending it to Russian security agencies.[80] The firm denied any wrongdoing. In May 2017, all Yandex services were banned in Ukraine by Presidential Decree No. 133/2017.[81]

In October and November 2018, Yandex was targeted in a cyberattack using the Regin malware, aimed at stealing technical information from its research and development unit on how users were authenticated.[82] An investigation by Kaspersky Lab attributed the hacks to Five Eyes intelligence agencies.[82]

In June 2019, RBC News reported that Yandex had refused a request by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) under the Yarovaya law to surrender encryption keys that could decrypt the private data of its e-mail service and cloud storage users. The company argued that it was impossible to comply with the relevant law without compromising its users’ privacy.[83] Maxim Akimov, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, said that the government will take action to relieve FSB pressure on the company.[84] Alexander Zharov, head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media, subsequently said that Yandex and the FSB had reached an agreement where the company would provide the required data without handing over the encryption keys.[85]

In February 2021 Yandex admitted that one of their system administrators with access rights to Yandex’s email service had enabled unauthorized access, leading to almost 5,000 Yandex email inboxes being compromised.[86]

Games[edit]

Yandex.Games is Internet gaming platform made by Yandex, which is available on both browser and mobile.[citation needed] As of January 2022, the number of games included in the catalog exceeded 7000, with more than 11 million players a month.[87] The platform provides two types of income: advertising and in-app purchases. There is also an in-game currency called «Yans».[87]

Developers add their games to the catalog independently and edit them in the future. All games are moderated. Mandatory requirements include integration with the Yandex.Games SDK, support for HTTPS and offline Service Worker mode.[88] Game developers follow the updates of the platform in the blog, and content is provided by companies all over the world (e.g. Dutch media platform Azerion[89]).

In addition to a wide system of user ratings and reviews, the service uses complex algorithms to create personalized collections: games that have already been played, or those that are likely to be played.[90]

On April 28, 2022, Yandex announced that it sold News and Blogging Products to VK.

News and media[edit]

In April 2014, a movie about the history of Yandex called Startup was released.[91]

On April 20, 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, Yandex made its home coronavirus testing service free of charge for all residents of Moscow and its surroundings, and will be available to other regions in the future. Previously, it announced the launch of the service on April 16.[92]

In late March 2022, Yandex was the subject of a Financial Times investigation that had been initiated by the nonprofit organization Me2B Alliance as part of an application auditing campaign led by researcher Zach Edwards. Edwards and four expert researchers, including Cher Scarlett, a former Apple security engineer, found that a software development kit (SDK) called AppMetrica, a product of Yandex, was harvesting data from more than 52,000 applications such as a user’s device fingerprint and IP address and storing it in Russia on Yandex’s servers, which they said due to Russian law, and the nature of SDKs, could be accessed by Russian authorities without their knowledge and used to identify them. Yandex said of identification by the data collected: «Although theoretically possible, in practice it is extremely hard to identify users based solely on such information collected.» Of authority requests for data they said: «Any requests that fail to comply with all relevant procedural and legal requirements are turned down.»[93][94]

According to Meduza investigation published on 5 May 2022, since 2016 the top-5 news on the Yandex’s main page are formed on the basis of a secret list of Russian media approved by Presidential Administration of Russia, which includes only pro-Kremlin media.[95]

Как пишется Яндекс на английском языке

Поисковая система Яндекс — самый популярный поисковик российского сегмента глобальной сети. Как и многие другие поисковые системы, она предоставляет своим пользователям большое количество интернет-сервисов: почта, облачное хранилище, онлайн-карты, видео, платежная система и многое другое. Исходя из этого, у многих пользователей возникает вопрос — как именно на английском языке пишется слово «Яндекс».

Заставка Yandex

  3. Нюансы при поиске в Яндекс
  4. Сайты, которые не проходят индексацию в Яндекс

Откуда взялось название Яндекс

Фразу Yet Another indexer, что в переводе с английского языка звучит как «еще один индексатор», придумал будущий директор компании Яндекс Илья Сегалович и Аркадий Волож (гендиректор). В то время слово выглядело как «Яndex». Перед тем, как к нему прийти Илья выписывал различные варианты для названия своей новоиспеченной поисковой системы. Ему сразу же стало понятно, что англоязычное слово search (поиск) в произношении на русский манер звучит, мягко говоря, не очень. Поэтому ему достаточно быстро пришла на ум фраза «yet another index». Немного позже Яндекс в адресной строке записывали просто Yandex. Так система пишется на английском языке и сегодня.

Дизайн и логотип Яндекс

С самых ранних этапов появления компании и поисковой системы Yandex владельцы сотрудничали со студией Артемия Лебедева. Специалисты разрабатывали для Яндекс большую часть дизайна сайта. Больше всего для компании сделал Рома Воронежский — дизайнер студии. Дизайн разрабатывали и другие специалисты области, например, для проекта «Лето» от Яндекс дизайн был создан организацией «Болоtov.ru». Последнее время компания все чаще обходится без услуг Артемия Лебедева.

Сервисы Яндекс

Логотип Яндекса, который практически не изменился и сегодня, появился еще в 1996 году. Впервые он фигурировал в Яndex.CD и Яndex.Site. Это произошло еще од появления самого поисковика. Логотип также был разработан студией Лебедева. В 3.0 версии логотип отбросил первую букву кириллицы (Яndex) и стал выглядеть как Yandex. Видимо первая буква «Я» у разработчиков была как кость в горле, ведь практически любой язык программирования понимает только латиницу. На английском языке Яндекс пишется — Yandex.

Нюансы при поиске в Яндекс

В поисковой системе Яндекс есть возможность настраивать поиск. Эта функция реализуется за счет гибкости языка при запросе. При поиске можно задавать область действия, например, включив в строку запроса А ~~ Г. В этом случае система найдет все результаты, где присутствует первый оператор (А), но исключит все результаты со вторым (Г). Другой оператор & найдет список ключевых слов в тексте, а двойной амперсанд будет искать «ключи» во всем документе.

Восклицательный знак в роли оператора поможет отключить морфологию определенного слова или фразы. Таким образом, если формы слова будут совпадать с другими, поисковая система выдаст дополнительные страницы. И наоборот, оператор «!!» уберет ненужные слова из результатов.

Сайты, которые не проходят индексацию в Яндекс

Есть несколько причин, по которым поисковая система Yandex не индексирует сайты и не показывает их в результаты в поиске.

  1. Сайты, которые крадут информацию или контент с других ресурсов.
  2. Редиректы — сайты, единственной целью которых является перенаправлять посетителей на другие ресурсы.
  3. Сайт, чей контент был сгенерирован программно, набор бессмысленного текста.
  4. И другие.

Как писать Яндекс на английском в почтовом адресе

Компания Яндекс предоставляет всем своим зарегистрированным пользователям бесплатный почтовый адрес. Более того, при входе в систему этот адрес по умолчанию является логином.

Окно входа в Яндекс.Почта

Поэтому каждый пользователь должен знать, как писать слово Яндекс на английском языке. К примеру, example@yandex.ru, ivan_ivanov@yandex.ru и так далее.
