Yandex – The worst search engine
Do you know Opera, yes the browser still exists today.
I came into some troubles with this horrible browser because it uses Yandex as default search engine.
You don’t know what Yandex is, then you are not alone. This tries to be the Russian counterpart to search engines like Google, Bing, and others.
Why I write about Yandex?
This annoying company added one of my websites to there blacklist because the mean it has some malicious code on it, which it sure NOT HAS!!!
OK, that can be no problem lets write Yandex and fix this problem. You thought that will be easy, NO not in Russia. You have to wait many hours until days to get a response from them. After 5 days and only 3 Mails they mean that the homepage is not reachable. Thats funny because the website has since it launch many visitors and is one of my most visited sites!!! I tried also to register to the “webmaster” tools on Yandex where I can’t add the page.
I don’t know which dreadful DNS servers they have in russia 😀 the biggest one have no problems with name resolution.
TO OPERA: Please think about which company you add as your favorite search engine.
I thought Bing is crap but now I know Yandex !!!
Its now time to write to Opera and my ISP to start the game which Yandex will play.
UPDATE: I figured out that Yandex is not able to replicate there DNS servers !!! LOL
