  One of the most famous all around the world and the most famous in Russia and other ex-USSR countries search engine is:

Yandex

or

Яндекс

Let's see the info about Yandex.ru in Wikipedia:


Yandex (Russian: Я́ндекс) is a Russian IT company which operates the largest search engine in Russia (with 64% market share, ranked eighth-largest in the world) and develops a number of Internet-based services and products. Company's mission is to give answers to users' questions (explicit or implicit).

The Yandex.ru home page has been rated as the most popular web site in Russia. Yandex is attracting more than 56 million users from all over the world. The web site is also present in Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine. Another company, Yandex Labs, is a wholly owned division of Yandex that located in San Franciso Bay Area.

Market Share

According to research studies conducted by TNS, FOM, and Comcon, Yandex is the largest resource and largest search engine in the Russian Internet market, based on audience size. Yandex currently has over 64% market share in search and has over 10 billion web pages indexed.

The closest competitors of Yandex in the Russian market are Google, Mail.ru and Rambler. Although services like Google and Yahoo! are also used by Russian users and have Russian-language interfaces, Google has about 21.9% of search engine generated traffic, Yandex has around 64.4%. Yandex is therefore one of the national non-English-language search engines (with among others Naver, Seznam.cz and Baidu) that outrun Google in their countries.

One of Yandex's largest advantages for Russian-language users is recognition of Russian inflection in search queries.

History

Yandex was launched in 1997. Its name can be explained as "Yet Another iNDEXer" (yandex) or "Языково́й (language) Index". The Russian word "Я" ("Ya") corresponds to English personal pronoun "I", making "Яndex" a bilingual pun on "index"; another pun is based on yin and yang contrast (Russian: инь - индекс, ян - яндекс).

Yandex LLC became profitable in November 2002. In 2004, Yandex sales increased to $17M, which was 10 times greater than the company's revenue just 2 years earlier. The net income of the company in 2004 constituted $7M. In June 2006, the weekly revenue of Yandex.Direct context ads system exceeded $1M. All of Yandex's accounting measures have been audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu since 1999.

In September 2005 Yandex opened a representative office in Ukraine and presented the Ukrainian portal, www.yandex.ua. In 2008 Yandex extended its presence in Ukraine by increasing bandwidth between Moscow datacenters and UA-IX in Ukraine five times. In 2007 Yandex introduced a customized search engine for Ukrainian users; Yandex also opened its development center in Kiev in May 2007. In 2009, all services of www.yandex.ua were localized for the Ukrainian market. In 2010, Yandex launched "Poltava" search engine for Ukrainian users. The engine based on Yandex's MatrixNet technology and ranked local resources higher for location-based queries.

In March 2007 Yandex acquired moikrug.ru, a Russian social network, to search and support professional and personal contacts.

In September 2008 Yandex acquired the rights to the Punto Switcher software program, an automatic Russian to English keyboard layout switcher.

In 2008 Yandex Labs was founded by Yandex. The main objective of the company located in San Franciso Bay area is to fostering "innovation in search and advertising technology".
In August 2009 Yandex introduced a player of free legal music in its search results. In September 2010 Yandex launched Yandex.Music service and significantly extended its music catalog to 800,000 tracks from 58,000 performers.

On May 19, 2010, Yandex launched an English-only web search engine.

In 2010 Yandex launched Yandex.Start program to find new startups and to work with them systematically. As a result of the program, Yandex purchased WebVisor's behavior analysis technology in December 2010. In January 2011 the next startup, single sign-in service Loginza, was acquired by Yandex.

In January 2011 Yandex introduced premium placement opportunity in its Business directory; advertisers' local small businesses will be highlighted on a map for relevant queries. It was announced that the potential audience of the product includes over 25 million users of Yandex's search engine and over 11.5 million of Yandex.Maps.

Technologies

Yandex search and other products rely on many technologies.

In 2009 Yandex launched MatrixNet, a new method of machine learning. It allows Yandex's search engine to take into account a very large number of factors when ranking search results. MatrixNet also allows customization of ranking formula to a specific class of search queries. One may fine-tune music searches; the fine tuning will not undermine the quality of ranking for other types of queries.

In July 2010 Yandex developed and implemented real-time search. Yandex has learned to recognize search queries that refer to the latest events and launched a new searchbot named Orange for real-time indexing.

In December 2010 a new search technology named Spectrum was launched. If user's query is ambiguous, the system will use query statistics to guess the user's intents. So, if the majority of users searching for [gone with the wind] expect to find a film, the majority of search results will be about the film, not the book.

Also Yandex has developed method of search and categorization of duplicate images; the technology was implemented in Yandex's image search product, Yandex.Images. When it finds duplicate copies it categorizes them to 4 groups: exact duplicates, thumbnail duplicates, semi-duplicates and enhanced semi-duplicates.

Another Yandex service, Yandex.Traffic, calculates the average levels of city traffic congestion, using data from drivers who use mobile version of Yandex.Maps service. The technology automatically processes GPS tracks and merges all available information on traffic jams.

Various

From 2001 to 2009 Yandex was conducting regular Internet search contests under the name of the "Yandex Cup" with several thousands of participants and valuable prizes.

On 6 July 2006, Yandex and the BBC simultaneously hosted a webcast which used viewers' questions to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yandex and the BBC dealt with the Russian-language and the English-language questions respectively. Yandex was represented by Aleksandr Gurnov, a famous Russian journalist and celebrity.

Yandex also offers photo-sharing and professional networking features analogous to Flickr and LinkedIn.

In 2007 Yandex launched Local Network Program; by renting dedicated channels Yandex became a local resource for most of the Russian Web users. By December 2008 Yandex had local presence in every federal district in Russia.

From September 16, 2008 to September 16, 2010 Yandex was one of two official ICQ distributors in Russia.

Yandex subsidiary Yandex.Money is an e-commerce payment system, the second most popular in Russia.

In Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and subsequent versions Yandex is the default search engine for Russian-language builds rather than the previous default (Google). Yandex also distributes a customized Firefox browser which includes Yandex.Bar add-on and other modifications catered to the Russian audience.

And now I am going to write about the most famous Korean search engine, in my next post.

[SEO]

Naver

or

네이버

Naver (Hangul: 네이버) is a popular search portal in South Korea, with a market share of over 70%, compared to 2% of Google. Naver was launched in June 1999 by ex-Samsung employees, and it debuted as the first Web portal in South Korea that used its own proprietary search engine. Among Naver's features is "Comprehensive Search", launched in 2000, which provides results from multiple categories on a single page. It has since added new services such as "Knowledge Search", launched in 2002. It also provides Internet services including a news service, an e-mail service, an academic thesis search service, and a children's portal. In 2005, Naver launched Happybean, the world's first online donation portal, which allows users to find information and make donations to over 20,000 civil society and social welfare organizations.

According to comScore, Naver received 2 billion queries in August 2007, accounting for over 70% of all search queries in Korea, and making it the fifth most used search engine in the world, following Google search, Yahoo!, Baidu, and Bing.

Naver launched its service in Japan in 2009, marking their first expansion out of Korea.

History

The word "Naver" was derived from the word "navigate" and the suffix "-er" to mean "a sailor of the Web".

Naver was incorporated in June 1999, launching the first South Korean search portal that used an internally developed search engine. In August 2000, it launched the "Comprehensive Search" service. which allows users to get a variety of results from a search query on a single page, organized by type, including blogs, websites, images, cafes, etc. This was five years before Google launched a similar offering with its "Universal Search."

In July 2000, Naver was merged with Hangame, South Korea's first online game portal, and in 2001 changed its name to NHN, or Next Human Network. The combination of the country's top search engine and the top game portal has allowed NHN to remain South Korea's largest Internet company, with the top market capitalization among companies listed on KOSDAQ.

In the early days of Naver operation, there was a relative dearth of webpages in the Korean language. To fill this void, Naver became an early pioneer in user-generated content through the creation of the "Knowledge Search" service in 2002. In Knowledge Search, users pose questions on any subject, and select among answers provided by other users, awarding points to the users who provide the best answers. Knowledge Search was launched three years before Yahoo! launched its similar "Yahoo! Answers" service, and now boasts a database of over 80 million answer pages.

Over the years, Naver has continued to expand its offerings, adding a blog service in 2005, local information search and book search services in 2004, desktop search in 2005, and the webtoon(webcomic) service in 2006. From 2005-2007 it expanded its multimedia search services, including music and video search, Internet phone service and mobile search. On January 1, 2009, Naver released its new interface.

Junior Naver

or

쥬니어 네이버

Junior Naver (Hangul:쥬니어 네이버) is a portal site aimed at children similar to Yahooligans. It has special services such as games such as Dongmul Nongjang (Animal farm), Pany Pang, Puppyred, e-mail, etc., and avatar, educational links, quizzes, stories, jokes, and homework helper. Junior Naver utilizes a panel of experts and educators to filter out harmful content, with the aim of offering a safe Internet experience for children.

Every search engine has a formula that they use to determine what web pages are spit out once a user enters a search term. That formula is known as an algorithm. To say that a search engine’s algorithm is a trade secret would be a gross understatement. When search engines first developed, their algorithms were dependent upon information contained in a web page’s meta tags. The meta tag contains basic information about a web page such as the title, description, keywords, copyright information, and more. It wasn’t long before some webmasters realized that they could enter thousands of keywords, most unrelated to their site, into the meta tag and boost their site’s rankings in the search engine. This is only one of many unscrupulous methods that were used.

 Welcome, Stella!  Our SEO forum is glad to see you!
 I would like to add something here - there are many algorithms and mostly they're in varying degrees of secrecy in my opinion. Also they're changing (sometimes). SE evolution...

Tonight I saw this online:

http://www.walhello.com

It's an Internet Search Engine

Let's see what they wrote about themselves:

Introducing The Walhello Search Engine

Walhello is a spider based search engine for the whole web. This index is one of the largest in the world and the basis for the Walhello search service. In addition to the basic search functionlaity based on matching keywords with most relevant web pages Walhello also provides the following integated functionality:
• News Search in news resources
• Picture Search
• A categorised Web Directory
• Product search of on-line shops
• An integrated reference with knowledge, articles and discussion boards related to keywords
• An answering engine that answers specific questions
The size of the index is continously growing and the quality of the services is improved by research on mathematical ranking algorithms and knowledge technology.

The beginning

The World Wide Web contains billions of documents containing publicly accessible useful information and knowledge. The problem of the World Wide Web is however that data on web pages is not very well structured making it difficult find relevant information and to use the information on the Internet effectively. Walhello.com started developing the Walhello (Valhalla + Web + Hello) website in March 2000 as a research & development project. The objective of this project was to structure the Internet and providing services to Internet users by granting access to this "structured Internet".

Downloading data (Appie spider)

As a first step the appie spider was developed which automatically downloads data from the World Wide Web. By extracting links from Web pages and subsequently downloading the pages corresponding with these extracted URLs. Currently millions of Web pages are downloaded and indexed on a daily basis, including pdf and Word documents.

Building World Wide Web Index (Classical Search Engine)

To structure the downloaded data software was developed which parsed the downloaded data and extracted the following information from the downloaded pages:
• Words and Locations of words on web pages
• Languages (about 40 languages are supported
• Links between web pages
This information was stored in a huge database, which was introduced on the Internet in June 2000 to help finding web sites matching a search query. Mathematically advanced ranking algorithms ensure that the most relevant results are shown first. In June 2000 this classical search engine was introduced on the Internet. At present the index contains about 2 billion web pages and is continually growing. The database is running on a very efficient architecture consisting of a cluster of cheap Linux servers. This architecture enables short response times because of parallized processing, scalability and fault tolerance. At present all application software is developed by Walhello in C/C++. Many years of research in compiler optimisation has resulted in very efficient high performing and reliable software on cheap hardware.

Ranking based on clustering and distance (Advanced Ranking Algorithms)

Based on research we concluded that information about a certain topic is clustered on adjacent Web pages. Research also showed that these clusters are unique for each search query. Walhello developed technology that can identify dynamically clusters and subsequently the size and relevance of a cluster for each search query performed. The ranking of a web site is based (in addition to characteristics of the page itself) on the distance of the page to clusters and the relevance of these clusters. Walhello is researching computational challenges to improve the ranking of web pages based on this clustering technology.

Integrating additional Search Services

To extend the search services Walhello has integrated the DMOZ Open Directory and products sold by several leading on-line shops, including Amazon.com and Allposters.com within the Walhello search engine. There are plans to integrate other external information sources as well.

Knowledge Engineering

The current search engines are mainly based on on mathematical algorithms to determine the relevancy. However humans use knowledge to determine the relevancy of web pages. Therefore Walhello started building a object oriented knowledge base which contains knowledge that can be used to better understand the semantical meaning of the content of web pages. This knowledge base combined with natural language syntactical and semantical parsing technology can be used to retrieve new knowledge and to determine potential data inconsistencies. As a new service some knowledge objects of the Walhello knowledge base are integrated within the Walhello Search engine and are made available on the Internet.

Advanced Search Option

Walhello has added proximity search as an advanced search option. The proximity search functionality allows users to define the maximum distance (number of characters) between the search terms and is a mixture between the standard keyword search and string search.

Maintaining Reference Information for search queries

Walhello has started to build and maintain reference information related to a search query to improving the search experience consisting of:
• References to News articles that match the search query
• References to Products that match the search query
• Maintaining knowledge, articles and feedback on search queries obtained from users
