The case for Yandex

[ganeemead]

A friend and I have been doing experiments with internet search engines.....

If you are less than happy with the way that politically incorrect and/or controversial views keep getting scrubbed off the internet, try yandex.com for searching..

One possibility, try searching for 'pizzagate' on your primary search engine and then on yandex.

Russians don't sem to care about political correctness...

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Google was a good search engine ten years ago, but now their search results are severely sterilized.

For contentious issues like politics, religion, and war, compare Google and Yandex results and the differences are astounding.

[roving]

I searched yandex and Bing and got the same results.

You've, really, been earning your potato stipend, lately.

Vlad is proud of you.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Vlad is proud of you.

You should definitely stick with Google. It will direct you to your favorite articles in Politico and Newsweak.

[Eagles6]

You are such a tool.

[Apparatchik]

Russians don't seem to care about political correctness...

But they do care about information control and internet censorship. But go on and tell us all that they tell you whatever you want to hear.

Russia Is Quietly Ramping Up Its Internet Censorship Machine

[Chad C. Mulligan]

Yandex. Are you serious?

Yes, I suppose you are....all things Russian give you that essential dopamine hit you crave.

[FLT-bird]

I've been using Yandex for a few years. Google is fine for looking for local businesses, looking up information about the African dung beetle, or any other non political topic.

BUT

If the topic is even remotely political, look it up on Google. Then look it up on Yandex. You will be simply amazed at how different the results are.

For example:

"The 2020 election was stolen" Google

See that? AP, NY Times, USA Today, CNN, PBS, a couple of obscure Leftist sites. That's Google. It "can't find" any articles saying the 2020 election was stolen.

Now let's try Yandex. "the 2020 election was stolen"

WOW! Such articles DO actually exist. How "amazing" that Google somehow can't seem to find them.

When they just outright LIE to you right in front of your eyes like this............You know you can't believe one single word Big Tech or the Corporate Media say - about anything. It doesn't even matter whether its true or not.(of course we all know it is). Google/Big Tech simply REFUSES to allow you to read for yourself and make up your own mind. They would rather LIE to you in order to try to manipulate you to believing in their propaganda, lies and Leftist ideology.

Anyone on FR still using Google isn’t paying attention.

I made sure no device in my purview was using Google as the default search engine after the James Damore incident in 2017. There are lots of other reasons to not be using them. And as you point out, they’d gone to poo as a search engine earlier.

Agree that Yandex is very good on issues that mean a lot to conservatives. But you’ll find that most people criticizing Yandex here either don’t believe the 2020 election was stolen, or, if it was stolen, they’re happy it was stolen from Trump.

[FLT-bird]

That 2020 election was just one example. Google is like that about issue after issue after issue. It just regurgitates and reinforces the Corporate Media Narrative on everything.

Yandex is one of the only search engines that is not controlled by “the blob” ie Silicon Valley/the Intel agencies/the Corporate Media.

[Chad C. Mulligan]

But you’ll find that most people criticizing Yandex here either don’t believe the 2020 election was stolen, or, if it was stolen, they’re happy it was stolen from Trump.

No, people here criticizing Yandex don't want a Russian search engine collecting our search history. Any more than we want Gurgle doing it. There are other search engine alternatives to Gurgle that aren't run by a sworn enemy of America.

[Auntie Mame]

Thanks, that’s very helpful. I’ve also started using excite.com but when putting in your query it gives the standard google response. However it’s much better than google for certain searches. Google is almost useless these days.

[BobL]

“There are other search engine alternatives to Gurgle that aren’t run by a sworn enemy of America.”

Didn’t know that Iran operated Yandex, but even so, how about you tell us what some of these “other search engine alternatives” are, because everyone that I’ve heard of simply parrots Google, starting with DDG.

[Eagles6]

If you look at my posting history, I very rarely engage about this conflict.

You, on the other hand, regularly post pro russian invasion cheerleading propaganda.

Why?

[daniel1212]

I searched yandex and Bing and got the same results.

I also have engaged in a cursory comparison of ideological results on most every search engine and found little difference, but Bing has improved. My test: HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONS and the BIBLE (without quotes).

Most of the top results on Google are liberal - which should not be since they are only condemned wheresoever the Bible manifestly deals with them (as my extensive page shows, which no one lists) - with more interspersed with conservative=Biblical sources, while the top result on Yandex is also liberal, though conservative=Biblical sources predominate after that.

Bing actually is the most conservative on this search.

[daniel1212]

Newsweek seems to actually provide some balance. As with

A cartoon by the author that was pulled from the Washington Post after it sparked outrage. Michael Ramirez/Las Vegas Review-Journal for the Washington Post But my cartoon was pulled off the Washington Post editorial website amid an internal outcry. - https://www.newsweek.com/i-was-canceled-cartoon-about-hamas-human-shields-i-stand-my-cartoon-its-critics-opinion-1843949

[daniel1212]

Bing actually is the most conservative on this search.

Correction: Yandex is.
