Yandex has launched a search by region

Since July 6, 2006, on the search for Yandex, most of the websites of companies and organizations of the “local level” are related to a specific region of Russia. By limiting the search to a place of stay, the user will find all the sites from his own region, known to Yandex and responding to the request.

“Previously, a search in the region was based on data from Yandex.Catalog , collected manually,” says Alexey Pölling, the developer of the search technology department. - A new automatic procedure allowed to classify about 46% of the entire search base, that is, increased the number of geoclassified sites by an order of magnitude. Today it is almost all sites to which the concept of "local" applies. "

At present, the Yandex search robot compares sites to about a thousand locations in Russia. Next in line are the cities of Ukraine.
