Does any one know any search engines in Russia?

By far, Yandex is the biggest search engine of Russia.

Haha, too funny KF.

Vika, you could start here [webmasterworld.com], although it is a very old thread.

Those figures differ significantly for a site I have stats for. The two key differeneces are the Google share (much higher for me) and the other one is that I see Yandex increasing slighly rather than decreasing.

Thanks Blackie! Always interesting with local country stats. Keep them coming :)

[Blackie]

The stats I refer to are taken from LiveInternet (russian stats tracking company) so they provide an aggregate for about 300 thousand websites, not a single one...

Good stuff. FYI, I spliced a couple of threads that all where about Russian search engines :)

Keep it coming!

For more current stats and comments, have a look at the Global Search Report 2007 (pdf) [e3internet.com] - Russia is in there too :)

Interestingly, those new stats for Google, 25% market share, match what I see on my one site! Much higher than the original quoted figures.

Don't forget though that if you have a site in the Russian language then other countries, and their search engines, might well be relevant. Ukraine for example is Russian speaking and they are a large market that is currently expanding at a phenomenal rate. Yandex rates zilch in the Ukraine.
