According to our rated second among Russian search engines quantity processed per day searches confidently takes Search.Mail.ru ( Poisk@Mail.ru ) . Strange, because until recently it was thought that the second position after Yandex undoubtedly belongs Rambler. But the facts are known , are stubborn things , and they speak in favor of the search service from Mail.ru.
Those who still do not know (although this is unlikely ) , we recall that Mail.ru - is one of the most if not the most visited Russian web portal . According to its owners, each month its pages visited by more than 50 million unique Internet users .
National postal service - the main pride in the family Mail.ru. Email service from Mail.ru all indicators ( popularity and functionality ) is the undisputed leader among the Russian postal operators . User Mail.ru, who decided to get their own email account, provided e-mail box of unlimited size with a wide list of other useful features (protection from viruses and spam , translator , spell check , etc.). Similar benefits could not remain unnoticed by the casual users , and therefore it is not surprising that within the postal service Mail.ru within one day of shipment occurs almost 40- million e-mails .
In addition to the mail service in the structure of the Internet portal Mail.ru has more than four dozen popular services. This is one of the most powerful Russian photohosting Foto@Mail.Ru databases which contain about 500 million user photos, and national social network Moi Mir@Mail.Ru (more than 45- million user profiles ) , and much, much more .
It's clear that with such an influx of users do not last in the " house " Mail.ru takes its search service Search.Mail.ru. According to an independent rating www.liveinternet.ru daily search of Mail.ru handles almost 7 million hits . Not difficult to calculate that over the last month Poisk@Mail.ru analyzes more than 200 million search queries. Several other statistics operate owners of the portal . According to them , the total volume of requests processed by the search service for the month exceeds ( !) Half a billion units.
Who is closer to the truth - the first or second source , in our opinion , does not matter , because even with the figure of 200 " tail " millions inspires respect. Is not it ?
What can you tell us about the immediate search technology within the search service Mail.ru? Actually, not much, but something can be done. First, search algorithms Search.Mail.ru are not, and borrowed from the very Yandex . Own is a database of web resources. Secondly, Poisk@Mail.ru allows users to search for information differentiated . For example, you can search for individual pictures , videos , merchandise, work, etc.
The reader may wonder why then Search.Mail.ru, being a kind of clone of Yandex , is so popular . All obviously popular Poisk@Mail.ru not so much as a parent portal - Mail.ru. Say, coming to the home page , millions of people do not bother to download Yandex necessity or some other search engine , and if necessary, simply use the search bar Search.Mail.ru, looming before her eyes. And we must recognize that the extent of widespread popularization portal Mail.ru search sees his future very prosperous.
Rambler
Elder search Runeta segment is considered to be Rambler. However, age ( launch date - 1996 ) in this case is not synonymous with undisputed leadership. It is no secret that in recent years, this search engine has lost its leading position , losing in battle with Google and by Yandex , and , as already noted above, and search service Mail.ru. But , despite this, in the present circumstances Rambler is still a major player in the provision of search services for Russian-speaking Internet users.
Contributes to this wide range of services that are sheltered under its " roof " Rambler. Yes, today he, like Yandex and Mail.ru , a universal web - platform services that go far beyond the provision of services to users search. Some of these services according to his ability and popularity significantly higher than those of competitors service . Take, for example , all known Rambler's Top100 - the most authoritative ranking of web resources the Russian Internet . Any self-respecting Internet site is proud to be in its ranks . Means the structure Rambler and a private mail service , and read by millions of people actual news feed ( to Lenta.ru ) , and much more. In short, gradually evolved from purely Rambler search resource at the media holding . Thus, several losing weight in the search segment Runeta likely Rambler acquired in its media component. As a result, significantly increased Internet portal audience . In the past year, monthly average unique visitors significantly exceeded the mark of 40 million people. But back to the surf ...
Search engine Rambler - a hybrid search engine that combines elements of traditional " horizontal " search on the search engine and the elements of the new generation - "vertical" search . The latter allows you to form a search query results in accordance with the selected " verticals " ( ie, news ) . Moreover, the search of the Rambler enables simultaneously to find necessary information from its various sources ( textual material , photos , video, etc. ) .
An interesting feature of the search engine Rambler is that the search carried out by it , primarily relating to property portal . Finding it relevant to your request information , Rambler will certainly show it on the first issuance.
Special is a search bot and Rambler - StackRambler. If you compare it with the Yandex search engine spiders , it can seem very slow . So if you have a keen desire to quickly get to the index of the search engine , be sure to present your resource in Top100 Rambler.
But even despite its slowness , the search robot manages the day to index more than five million pages. It should be remembered that this search engine indexing refers to sites that belong to the national domain zones on the territory of the former USSR -. Ru,. Su,. Ua,. By , etc. Add to database indexing Web project , which belongs to a different domain zones is carried out after the personal permission of the Rambler.
While maintaining its Internet offspring in the search engine Rambler, webmaster worth remembering some important points .
Firstly, the creation of a site should not be abused by the presence of dynamic pages (Rambler does not welcome them ) .
Second, in the process of search engine indexing are not included almost all the existing meta tags . The exception is <meta name="robots"...>.
Third , the search engine Rambler learn how to extract objects from the Flash- only links .
Fourthly , Rambler able to take into account the morphological features of the Russian language .
Returning to the loss of search engine popularity among users of the Rambler , it should be noted that the owners of the media portal for the past two years have been active steps to return the former position . So , in mid-2008 they signed a contract with Blinkx. The purpose of signing - integration into the job search engine Rambler innovative video search . As the undisputed leader in the field of technologies most relevant search video on the Internet , the American partner of the Russian search engine designed to help her open a " new page " in the medium of video search .
The essence of technology is unique in the fact that to find the desired video through Rambler will be possible not only due to the corresponding text in its title , but also because of the direct phrases ( words and phrases ) , said in the target video.
This treaty, as it soon turned out, was only the first swallow in cooperation with U.S. companies . After he had reached another , according to developers Rambler, fateful agreement . At this time, the Russian partner searcher himself became Google. We will not go into all the nuances of the contract , we note only that it became an important part of the agreement that the search algorithms Rambler henceforth will use the best practices in the field of Google search technology .
Well, like, in our opinion, evidence of serious interest owners Rambler national brand in the further development of its search component. And albeit significant results mentioned international agreements have not been , there is every reason to believe that it will happen in the near future .
QIP
In the final part of the story talk about the " dwarfs " exploratory segment Runet. Talk a little bit , because of its short activities they have not yet earned a detailed analysis .
First, a brief walk through the search engine QIP. This search engine for those who are not yet aware of , is not a " namesake " popular universal messenger (say , QIP Infium), and its direct "relative" . Getting on the official website of the Russian analogue ICQ, Internet user is able to not only download the software product known , but also a chance to enjoy many other virtual affairs.
In general, the portal interface (so we can safely call Qip.ru) is reminiscent of Mail.ru, such utter his youth version. There is a place news, dating service , job search, sign , viewing galleries , and lots more . There on the portal and your search (separate address - www.search.qip.ru).
At the moment to talk about some revolutionary technologies in the field of search by the QIP is not necessary , since the search engine uses algorithms Yandex . But in the case of search engine QIP " plagiarism" , as it turns out , does not stop to increase the volume of search queries processed . According to estimates of Wikipedia today QIP handles 0.6 % of all requests in RuNet . Moreover, this figure is slowly but surely creeping up .
According to experts, the growth of the Internet audience , asking for help in the network via QIP, primarily due to the fact that the portal registers your search in popular web browsers "default" when the messenger is installed . Many people noticed the catch (no browser or traditional Yandex Google), immediately restore the settings that omission . But there are those who continue to use QIP, especially as the results of issue quite tolerable ( as noted above , QIP uses algorithms Yandex ) . And such men as practice shows, every day it becomes more and more that is good owners of this search engine.
Nigma
Nigma.ru - the world's first intelligent search engine . Its launch date is considered to be 12 April 2005 . At the root of this search engine are such scientific and technological giants such as Moscow State University . M. University and Stanford University . Developers search engine Nigma ( the graduates of these schools) emphasize the radical difference between their web creations from all other search engines that exist today. The essence of this difference lies in the clustering of data, ie the issuance of search results is based on the mathematical grouping of documents found . In practice, it is as follows . After receiving a search query , the system generates a list of documents , which are divided into several clusters ( displayed on the left of the results list .) The user , in turn, may specify to which cluster / s , it is desirable to continue the search. This approach can significantly improve the relevance of the results.
During the development of the search engine used the latest achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. Last , as an integral part of the search process makes it possible to analyze the existing index of the web page , followed by the provision of information to the user ready , not links to other resources .
By the way, since we're talking about the index , it is worth noting one of the unique features of this search engine. The fact that during the formation of Nigma search results takes into account both its own index of web documents , and indexes of other search engines ( Yandex , Rambler, Aport, Google, Yahoo, AltaVista , etc.). But the total number of Russian-language web documents available in the index of the search engines at the beginning of 2009, there were more ( !) 7- billion units. Taking into account this fact , your own ability to have Nigma complemented by elements of search technology mentioned systems.
Revolutionary spirit in the approach to finding information on the network could not go unnoticed by the web audience . Even today , if you believe all the same Wikipedia , Nigma covers treatment 0.5% of the total number of search queries in RuNet . Each month, the site comes Nigma.ru more than 3 million unique users and daily transitions from a search engine to other resources have long exceeded one million .
Continue the conversation about the features Nigma can still very long, well , like to talk about the other search engines . At the same time propose to make a short pause , continuing our conversation in the following materials .
