Russian Search Engine Yandex Beats Bing

Posted by timothy on from the but-it-doesn't-sound-verby dept.

judgecorp writes "The Russian search engine Yandex has beaten Microsoft in the search engine rankings, taking fourth place behind Google, China's Baidu and Yahoo, according to ComScore. The result won't be encouraging for Microsoft, which will also be disappointed to see Bing behind its partner Yahoo."

      It has a cross-language meaning. In Russian, Rndex means Index and in English it stands for "Yet Another Indexer". At least, that's what hippies at the Wikipedia wrote.

      "Rndex" (with the Cyrillic "Ya" going first) is not a word in Russian. "Indeks" is. So "Yandex" is an invented word.

    In Britain a 'Bing' is a spoil heap, it's a pile of dirt taken from mining and discarded.
    i.e. it's all the worthless crap left behind after you've taken the good stuff out.
