Mail.ru goes to Google search without logo

An official press release from Mail.ru has just been published , which confirms information on the transition to a new search engine from January 1, 2010, which will entail a change in the share of Yandex and Google in the Russian search market from 69% / 23% up to 59% / 33%.

Let me remind you, these rumors were published two weeks ago . As stated, the cause of the Mail.ru conflict with Yandex was the latter’s request to insert a logo in the search. At the same time, Google agreed to concessions in this paragraph.

Mail.ru and Google have entered into an agreement on cooperation in the field of search and advertising technologies. From January 2010, the search engine of Mail.ru portal will use Google search technologies, as well as display relevant AdSense ads in the search results. At the same time Mail.ru plans to actively develop its own search technology.

Search "engine" is used without mentioning the Google brand. Mail.ru will be able to process part of user requests using its own technologies, with the aim of testing and further improving their developments.

It should be noted that in 2003-2005, the company Mail.ru and Google have already successfully collaborated in the field of both search technology and contextual advertising.
