Go to the main page of Yandex. What is Yandex - why is it called Yandex. Why Yandex is called Yandex

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to talk about the most successful Internet company in Runet.

If you think about it, more than half of the users come to my blog with this one, and the lion's share of mine comes from the income from displaying YAN ad units (through Profit Partner).

For webmasters, probably, first of all, Yandex is a search engine that occupies a leading position in Runet (it even recently absorbed it). Moreover, the realities of the modern are such that it would be extremely short-sighted not to take into account the features of this search engine when optimizing the site, because it is it that aggregates the lion's share of commercial queries. Not getting targeted visitors from it is not a fact that you can get them from, because. they simply may not be there.

Yandex home page, themes and settings

But at the same time, Yandex has long outgrown the short pants of a pure search engine and has become for many users the place from which they begin their journey on the Internet - a multiportal. Millions of users now use its image search, Mail, and dozens of other services. The main competitor of Google also has all this, but nevertheless, the audience of our network segment votes for the domestic manufacturer by the majority.

Let's start our review of the portal from its main page. Many specialists worked on its creation and layout, and it is on the home page that you will find almost everything that you may need at first. Later, after getting used to it a little and deciding which services you will need in the first place, you will be able to completely rebuild it to your taste and needs.

About registration, receiving a mailbox and that, we will talk a little lower in the text. Now we note for ourselves that much of what most users may need is already on the main page. In orange, I highlighted the services that I use from time to time.

Also on the main page when you scroll it you will find, with a list of Internet materials that may be of interest to you. Yandex knows your preferences and tries to show only the most interesting for you in this feed. How well he succeeds, judge for yourself:

However, all people are different and their interests also differ. Therefore, at the very top of the main page, you can always see a drop-down list called "Personal settings"(gear icon in the upper right area of ​​the screen). By clicking on it, you can choose one of four options:

Let's go to the first tab Set up Yandex. Here we will be given the opportunity to delete, customize, drag and drop existing widgets on the main page, and also add new ones if desired:

When saving the changes made, deleting or rearranging blocks on the main page (the "Save" button), you need to understand that if you have not registered with Yandex.ru, then only the browser from which you made these settings will be linked (it is stored in cookies) . In another browser, you will see the main page configured by default.

As you can see, not only the main page settings are concentrated here, but also global and fundamental things. Let's take a closer look at them (it is clear that it would be better to save them specifically for your account):

Registration and receipt of Yandex Passport

You have two possibilities to work with this portal. You can register with Yandex and get a free mailbox with a good spam cutter as a gift, or you can forget about registration and just work with the main page and other services that allow you to do this without authorization.

Probably, the first option (with registration) would be preferable, because in this way you can use the potential of the system to the maximum.

After clicking on it, you can download a detailed manual with screenshots that will help you set up the start page for exactly the browser in which you have now opened this very instruction. Or, as in the case of Internet Explorer, you will be offered to simply click on a button for this thankless task.

Yandex - the search engine everyone needs

It is possible that Yandex is now more used by users to satisfy their philistine requests, and that is why it is, first of all, of interest to Seo companies involved in the promotion of commercial sites. But the share of those users who enter information queries in this search engine still turns out to be huge, although already comparable to the share of Google (I judge by the statistics of my project).

It is clear that this is not an accurate statistics, because in addition to the domain zone Ru in from other domain zones, and the LivInternet counter is not installed for everyone. However, this sample can still be considered representative and it follows from it that Yandex is quite confidently leading in the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet.

He bit off more than half of the donut, which is a lot, considering the multi-million audience of Runet. It is clear that the share of Yandex in the global search is small (from one to two percent), and Google already reigns categorically there. Yes, and in Runet, if we consider the audience of users entering information requests (who do not need to buy something), the shares of Yandex and Google will be almost the same. I judge this by analyzing the statistics of my blog site:

But this, of course, is not a representative sample at all, but rather my own IMHO. By the way, if you analyze the positions of my site for various popular search queries (for example, you can see its visibility in ), you will notice that these two giants often have completely different ratings for the same web pages.

Over the next few years (until 1996), active work was carried out to improve search algorithms and take into account the morphology of the language in it. During this time, several software products were released (Academic Edition of the Classics on CD ROM, Bible Computer Reference), where all these developments were used, but, as you understand, all this did not make it possible to realize the full potential of search algorithms and did not allow it to be seriously earn. There was practically no Internet in Runet at that time.

By the way, it was during this period that the name for the developed search technology was coined, namely Yandex, which means "Language Index". Although there are still many interpretations of the origin of the brand, this does not change the essence. The development team had a desire and conviction that it would be much more profitable to sell the search technology itself than to sell products built on it.

In 1996, at the Netcom exhibition, the company, which at that time was still a department of the Arcadia company, offered its first products for site search (Yandex.Site) and search for CD content (Y.CD). Well, as well as a separate product that implements the Ya.Lib search technology. In the same year, the company went online and, using the Y.Dict product, made it possible to make requests in Russian to the AltaVista search engine, which was popular at that time in the bourgeoisie ( Google didn't exist yet.).

But all this was not something that would really allow the company to turn around in all its glory. It lacked its own index of all Runet sites. Well, the employees of the company (at that time a department of the Arcadia company) tensed up and created a search robot that pretty quickly bypassed all the five thousand sites available in Runet (at that time) and collected an index text file weighing only four gigabytes.

All. In 1997, Softool was announced at the exhibition new site yandex.ru(a project codenamed Yandex-Web), which was launched on September 23.

By the way, the first version of the design for it was drawn by Artemy Lebedev, now known to all of you:

At first, to work with the search engine, it was required to enter queries formulated in a special way (using logical operators), but after a few months they got rid of this and the search engine could be addressed as a simple interlocutor. In the same year, a forum was opened to communicate with visitors and solve their problems, which lasted until 2008.

Yandex already at that time successfully fought against duplicate content in different or slightly different content, and identical documents were removed from the search results. In addition, they were used to place links to the most relevant (responding to the user's request) documents at the top of the search results.

It turns out that the development of the Internet in Runet coincided very well with the fact that the Yandex company had been working seriously on the problems of searching in Russian for a long time in huge text arrays.

This probably played a decisive role in the further dizzying rise - after all, he only had to transfer his achievements to the web and pay attention to the development of related services and thinking over ways to extract from all this income. The main thing was be at the right time and in the right place. Segalovich and Volazh succeeded, with which I congratulate you - well done.

But, as it were, the story does not end there, but, on the contrary, is just beginning. In the next 1998, work is underway to improve the search engine, new functionality for users appears (search in the found, find similar documents, etc.), and the design of the main page is also undergoing a slight change (getting these screenshots turned out to be quite simple, because there is a service like , which performs the function of a time machine):

In 1999, by leaps and bounds, the Internet began to gain popularity in the Russian-speaking segment of the network, and in connection with this, the number of documents indexed by Yandex seriously increased, which he succeeded by launching a new robot that scans Runet sites. In the same year, a new project was launched, which lasted until 2012.

Interestingly, it was from this year that Yandex seriously took up spam filtering, began to take into account the contents of Alt tags for images, and, in addition to the text of the document itself, began to consider when ranking and leading to it from other network sites (the birth of a full-fledged link ranking). Well, the design of its main page has changed significantly:

Development of a new search engine and related services

In 2000, a number of events took place that predetermined the further success of Yandex.ru. If you look at the previous three screenshots of his home page design, you'll notice the CompTek logo. This is quite logical, because the development team at that time was part of the programming department of this company. But in 2000, this department was spun off back into a separate company, but which was no longer called Arcadia, but Yandex.

By the way, at that time they had not yet worked out a scheme for generating income and they were forced to attract an investor. ru-Net Holdings Corporation has invested about five million dollars in the search engine, for which it received a third of Yandex's assets. In general, it turned out to be a very profitable deal, because now the number one search engine in Runet is already pulling in hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the same year, the famous one appeared, and it was also introduced, with the help of which the sites in this directory were ranked (see the money already familiar to us in the screenshot above).

Moreover, Tietz was assigned to all indexed resources (regardless of their location or not in the directory) and, unlike the thematic index, was assigned to the entire site, and not to its individual pages. It is measured by digital values ​​from 0 to infinity and is a linear value, and Page rank has only eleven gradations from 0 to 10 and is a logarithmic value.

In addition, Yandex in 2000 is already being formed as a multiportal, because just at that time such services as Mail, News, Bookmarks, Postcards, and, well, a bare search bar at ya.ru(Google's main page looks the same - complete asceticism). A number of services have also appeared, which will later become the Market. Well, even before the heap, in 2000, it first saw the light of day, which users could install as an add-on for their browser (now it has been renamed Elements).

The main achievement of the company in 2001 can be considered that it became the most visited site in Runet, the index base grew to the size of one terabyte, and an image search service appeared.

Well, around the same time saw the light. Traditionally, the design of the main page has also changed:

In 2002, on the basis of three separate services, a now well-known and convenient tool for searching and selecting the right product was formed for all of you -. And there was also a significant event in the history of the company - it completely switched to self-sufficiency by opening the service.

The design of the main page has become even closer to the modern version:

2003 was the first year of self-sufficiency, and this search engine, in addition to ordinary Html pages, learned to index documents in RTF, PDF, and DOC formats, and a year later, the turn came to Flash sites. A serious spam cutter called “Self-defense” appeared in Ya.Pochta, and Direct from this year began to work on the principle of pay per click.

In 2004, the company's profit has already amounted to about ten million dollars, there were search services on the map, as well as on blogs and forums. Around the same year in the search market in RuNet there is a powerful competitor in the face of Google, in connection with which Yandex expanded its staff by about ten times for an adequate response.

All interested users were involved in the development of the design of the main page, and as a result, this version of the main one existed right up to 2007 without changes:

In 2005, Yandex decided to think about expanding and a representative office of this company appeared in the square. And at the end of the same year, a very remarkable event for many webmasters took place - the . Don't know what it is?

Now all site owners have the opportunity to place contextual advertising on the pages of their sites and receive fifty percent of the price of each click. For this, I want to express a separate respect, well, and my COP (partner service center) Profit Partner even more respect, because they actually feed me. Also this year, the Ya.Slovari service appeared.

In 2006, Yandex.Maps introduced the ability to display traffic jams and a tool for identifying public opinion appeared, where reviews on blogs and forums were actually searched.

In 2007, an analytics tool, which is still quite popular now, appeared, which was initially focused primarily on the needs of advertisers in Direct.

Well, the Ukrainian search engine Yandex.ua was opened, which now aggregates about a quarter of the search in the square, and the first version has also appeared. Plus, we made a new design for the main page:

In 2008, the company's office was opened in the states and at the same time support for international standards, MediaRSS, etc. was added to the engine algorithms. This allowed the company to successfully index bourgeois sites that these standards had long supported. Well, from that moment on, the Yandex logo began to be written entirely in Russian:

And the design of the main page has undergone its latest reincarnation:

The main event of 2009 was the introduction of regional search (in the Snezhinsk algorithm), which gave Yandex a certain head start compared to Google, whose regional search consisted of splitting only by country, not by city. In 2010, it appeared and users of the search engine were able to search only on the bourgeois Internet, both through Yandex.ru and through.com.

Around the same time, Ukrainian regional search appeared, and a self-learning tool began to be used to calculate the relevance formula. Matrixnet algorithm and Spectr technology comes into play.

Matrixnet uses assessors (who determine the quality of individual sites in the network) as reference points, and Range allows you to take into account in the search results all the possible meanings embedded in the request by the user (for example, for the query "Napoleon" it is quite difficult to decide what the user wants to know about - about a cake or about an outstanding person in history).

Well, in 2011, the leader of the Runet search placed its shares on the NASDAQ exchange. I don’t understand the intricacies of this case, but Yandex helped out a huge amount (more than a billion in greenbacks), which is slightly less than the amount that Google received with a similar placement in 2004.

Everything, but the history of Yandex does not end there and, most likely, will continue for many years to come.

Now they already have quite a few offices in different cities of the world, and if you believe the photographs, the atmosphere in the company is quite democratic:

Features of promotion under Yandex (differences from Google.ru)

Now let's get back to the problems of webmasters and optimizers - how to promote your site for Yandex? Not as simple as it might seem at first glance. In fact, for myself, I do not divide promotion for different search engines into separate components (), but there are nuances and differences, and many people focus on them:

1. As a rule, when promoting a competitive search query, you should have several pages on the site at once that would answer this query. One of them will be pumped by you with external links, and the rest will create the appearance that your resource is focused on the answer to this user request.

When promoting under Yandex (and under Google.ru, but to a lesser extent), it should be borne in mind that such a concept as keyword density () no longer works. The search is well versed in the peculiarities of the Russian language and is able to make an assessment of the subject of the article according to the vector that it has.

Those. should be in the article, but in a very limited amount, and all those words and phrases that, according to the search engine, should be present in such texts (vector) should also be present.

2. Recently, Yandex has been advocating that the texts of articles would not be re-optimized and threaten to punish them for this. It seems to me that one re-optimization will not be enough to impose a veto - it is necessary that the behavior of users also says that this text is spam.
3. It also takes into account the age of the site (not the domain) and its trust when ranking. Google also takes this into account, but to a lesser extent.
4. External links have an impact on site promotion in Yandex to a slightly lesser extent than when promoting in Google.
5. "Runet Mirror" loves the variety of both sources of links and their anchors (texts).
6. As I already said, in the domestic search engine the share of commercial queries is significantly higher than in the bourgeois counterpart and the competition for them will be much higher
7. When ranking in search results, Google pays more attention to the page most relevant to the query (as if in isolation from the site), and Yandex also evaluates other pages of the same resource, and also the entire resource as a whole.
8. Well, in both search engines, when determining the relevance of pages, they are actively taken into account, because they allow you to attract a huge number of users to assess the quality of the site (for free).

Good luck to you! See you soon on the blog pages site

Each Internet user uses search engines to find the information they need. How to search for information in Yandex? At first glance, everything looks pretty simple and easy. We go to the Internet, open the main page of the search engine, write down the question of interest to us and proceed to the study and sorting of the answers obtained as a result of the search.

But not everyone knows that they have some secrets that make the search for information easier, more accessible and more enjoyable.

Consider the main features and capabilities of this system.

How to search for information in Yandex with a request in a few words?

How to search in "Yandex"? The very first thing that needs to be done is to formulate the request itself as accurately as possible. It must include two or more words. When you enter it into the search bar, the system traditionally issues similar queries, synonymous words. For example, you need to find the answer to the question: “Where can I have a good rest?” In the search bar, when entering a query, synonymous words, sentences leading to the sites of the services offered (at sea, in Egypt, in India) begin to be added. Some people like it, because the search is greatly simplified, and some are distracting. If you belong to the category of the latter, then try to accurately formulate the question, the answer to which you want to find in Yandex. As an option - take it in normal quotes and write it in the input line.

If you forgot a word, then you can put any sign in its place. For example: we enter in a string in quotation marks, and in place of an unknown word we put "*".

For example, in "Yandex" look for: "Diagnostic * in gynecology". The use of such a wording is convenient when searching and selecting quotes, lines from famous books, poems, when some words are simply forgotten.

It is convenient to search for information in Yandex in that it gives answers to the synonyms found. You can also list synonyms in the search line, taking them in brackets and separating them with the sign I. For example: “successful conduct (of business I of business I of entrepreneurship)”.

How to search in Yandex using all the features of the sign system

But what if you need to find sites where the specified query should be used completely and without changes? How to search exactly in Yandex? To do this, enter the full sentence in the search bar using the & sign.

Let's look at an example: "In order to & use & the five & secrets & of effective & communication & you need & the following."

It happens that when you enter a large query, the search engine gives out extra links that make the search much more difficult. If you want the sentences to contain a specific word, then search using the “+” sign: “Learning English + courses”.

In Yandex, look for answers to questions that contain general information (for example, about the product being sold, the services offered), without wasting time browsing pages about their sale.

Have you decided to purchase a specific car, but just want to get acquainted with its characteristics? Then in the search bar, enter "CITROËN C4 PICASSO - buy".

Possibilities

In Yandex, look for information using the following features:

1. If you need to go to a specific site, then specify it in the request. Example: "Clothes site: http: site name".

2. You can find a specific document by specifying its type in the search bar.

3. If you need to find information in a specific language, then enter the following command. Example: Michael Jackson lang: en (you can specify any required language - ru, uk, be).

The Yandex search engine provides the ability to search not only for information by entering verbal queries: you can also find the video, pictures you are interested in, open a mailbox and get access to letters around the clock.

Search for pictures and images

Consider the possibility of image search. How to search for pictures in Yandex?

The system finds the exact or similar image and provides the result. The picture can be saved on the user's computer or on the Internet.

Please note: the image must be in jpeg, gif, png format and must not exceed 8 MB.

We perform the following steps:

2. Loading the picture. If the image has its own address on the Internet, then enter it in the search bar or upload a picture from your computer that was previously saved. You can use a simple method: use the left mouse button to drag the picture to the specified location.

Searching for similar images allows the user to look at other images. For example, you liked the item and want to buy it in the future. By uploading a picture to the Yandex system, you can view similar items, the range offered, and also select a site with sale conditions that suit you.

The most popular queries in "Yandex"

Internet users may have a question: “What are they most often looking for in Yandex?”. It may seem strange, but people are interested in the number of most frequently entered queries, keywords, query sizes. In order to find the answer to one question, a person spends about 2-3 minutes. A huge number of queries consist of several words (3-5), and single-word queries are getting smaller. These include, for example, the names of social networks, mail, sites for adults. The number of clarifying words is also great: buy, sell, find, download, price, free, cost, delivery.

In short, the system is so versatile that it can satisfy a wide variety of information search needs for users.

Conclusion

These are the main recommendations that simplify the search for information in the Yandex system, open up the possibility of using sites that contain the necessary information and answer the question of how to search in Yandex correctly. By putting our tips into practice, you will be convinced that it will be much easier to find the information you need. And the result will please you: you will get rid of "water" by 100%, getting exactly what you wanted. Now you know how to search for information in Yandex. Dare!

Today we will partially consider the Yandex search engine.

Its main page is the face of the entire system and literally a portal to the wonderful world of a search engine that occupies a leading position in Runet.

There is no point in talking about the reasons for leadership now, because the topic of our article is somewhat different, but, if in a couple of words, then Yandex:

• Helps the user
• Friendly even for beginners
• Easy to use
• Uses a unique ranking system
• It has its own way of development and tries to bring something new.

The system was launched back in the distant ninety-seventh year during a presentation at the Softool exhibition.

And already at that time, Yandex coped with the morphology of the Russian language without any problems, looking for the information the user needed, taking into account the distance.

It also had its own algorithm for the relevance of a particular page of each site that was indexed.

First acquaintance with the main page

In order to get to the main page of Yandex, it is enough to enter www Yandex or www Yandex ru or ru in the search bar of the browser.

Well, if you are generally too lazy or you are full of impatience to enjoy a hitherto unseen spectacle - just write "Yandex" and click on the first link that appears in the search.

So, we are on the main page. It must be said that since its inception, this search engine has changed the main page very often.

And all because the developers carefully monitor the current trends and desires of users.

Based on all this, as a constructor, a page is assembled that maximally corresponds to what we used to call the word “convenience” or “comfort”.

When you get to the page for the first time, the first thing you do is turn to the very top, where a bar pops up offering to download an adapted browser Yandex.Browser, equipped with special protection technology.

Advice! Despite the fact that Yandex.Browser is well designed and "sharpened" for all the desires of a simple user, someone will not want to download it, and the top bar will distract from important information. In this case, you can pay attention to the upper right corner of the page, where there is a "Close" button, made in the form of a cross. Click on it, and you will no longer see an annoying bar suggesting you to perform an action you do not need.

Of course, after a while it may appear again, but you will already know exactly what to do with it.

Well, or she will convince you and you still decide to download Yandex.Browser, at least for fun.

At the end of the review, by the way, we will provide you with a video with detailed settings for this browser.

Make Yandex the main page in the browser

You may have a question: “How can I make sure that the Yandex home page is always in my browser and I don’t have to constantly look for it?”.

You can do it absolutely free!

Caring developers have taken care of this, so if you look at the very top left corner of the page, you can find the "Make Home" link.

Click, you will be prompted to install a special extension and you're done - the start page!

Advice! Pay attention to the picture above. The first arrow (on the left) indicates the main link, which allows you to make Yandex the start page of any browser. However, if you use the Google Chrome browser, you may see a handy ad (arrow on the left) that will help you install a special extension that will make Yandex the main search engine in your browser as quickly as possible. After that, every time you want to surf the Internet, your favorite Yandex main page will automatically load.

Specify your location if Yandex has not determined

After a little manipulation of the browser, we return to the page and see that the city in which you are currently located is indicated in the same upper left corner.

The system automatically determines it and gives you information that is most relevant to the place where you are now.

But it may also happen that Yandex makes a mistake and gives you the wrong city.

So, if you are still interested in the Yandex search engine, we will continue. We are transferred to the upper right corner of the page and we see several links there.

They allow:

• on which the page will be

• by customizing it

• Start mailif you don't have one (there is a button "")

• Log in using the "Login" button after registration or using a profile in one of the social networks

Advice! Registration in Yandex is fast and convenient. We advise you to use it, because it will allow you to use the additional features of the system, as well as save all the changes that you have made in the settings.

News in Yandex

Having dealt with the top of the page, we move closer to the middle. Before your eyes, as you will notice, a column will appear " News".

Initially, news that is relevant to the country in which you are located is shown there.

If your country is Russia, all the news that happened today will be shown. If in Ukraine, the relevant content will be shown.

However, if you are more interested in news related to the area in which you live, just click on the link next to the "News" link, which is named after your area.

In our case, this is the "Dnepropetrovsk region".

And to the right of the news, advertising banners from Yandex are constantly being broadcast, which either help in some small things, or talk about some new products of the company and its partners.

• More detailed news

Yandex search bar

In the center of the main page of Yandex is the main thing - the logo of the search engine and the search line in which users enter their queries.

And the truth is, no matter what you enter in the search bar, you will definitely have dozens, if not hundreds of options for sites where you will definitely find what you are looking for.

On the left is a map of the city, train schedules and a TV program that allows you to find out what movies you can watch right now and whether you should even be distracted by TV.

At the very bottom of the page there is practically nothing useful for a simple user, however, experienced users will find the links indicated there important and necessary.

Among them is a link to Yandex.Direct (by the way, it is this system that brings the lion's share of profit to the search engine), a link to the metric and to the page with ordering advertising.

And that's just on the left side.

On the right side, you can find a button in the form of a question mark, which will take you to a page with a FAQ on the system and its services.

Conclusion

This is how the main page of the Yandex search engine appears before us.

We hope that our brief review will allow you to at least get to know it a little, get used to working with search and other "goodies" that this page offers.

Use Yandex and always be up to date!

Promised at the beginning of the video with Yandex.Browser settings:

Yandex browser settings

I will show you how to set up Yandex browser and show its features and functions. I especially like the ability to translate words in the browser.

If you have long wanted to facilitate and speed up the search process for the Yandex home page and make it the start page of your browser, then this article is for you! What is the simplification of working with a search engine if it is set as a "start page"?

When you open your browser, the search agent page automatically opens, saving you time and effort. Knowing how to set a web page as your home page is very helpful.

After all, you can not waste too much time and immediately open the page of interest in the browser. It is quite easy to carry out this setting, but some novice Internet users may not know how it is done.

Two main rivals - Yandex and Google

Now we can distinguish 2 main search services - these are Yandex and Google . Among the Russian-speaking population, of course, Yandex search engine is the leader and there are many reasons for this leadership. Yandex differs from its competitor in a number of advantages:

1. High information content. From the start page, you can immediately go to all search engine services: news, poster, weather, mail, etc. It can even be customized to your liking thanks to additional widgets and modules.
2. High quality information delivery.
3. Nice appearance, which can also be customized to your preferences thanks to Yandex themes, which are constantly updated.

The easiest way to install Yandex.ru start page is is to use special application, which is offered by Yandex. You can install this application at the link http://home.yandex.ru/. Thanks to this application, Yandex will automatically be installed as the main page in all browsers. No additional manual settings are required in this case. If this application did not work or you simply do not want to download an additional program, then you can manually make settings in each browser.

Manual Yandex settings in various browsers

The steps for installing the main page are almost identical for all browsers, but, nevertheless, each browser has small features for pinning the start page. We will take a closer look at how to make Yandex the home page for key browsers:

1. Mozilla Firefox;
2. Opera;
3. Google Chrome;
4. Internet Explorer;
5. Yandex Browser;
6. safari.

The most popular and convenient browsers according to Internet users

Yandex home page in Mozilla Firefox

The first browser to consider is Mozilla Firefox, which is the leader among Russian users.

To set the home page, go to the settings menu in the upper right corner, or you can simply type “about:preferences” in the address bar of your browser.

In this section, in the line "Home Page" or "Home Page" indicate the address of the start page, namely http://www.yandex.ru/, and click the "OK" button.

A nice feature of modern browsers is the lack of significance of the case value, that is, the browser will not care whether you write the site address in large or small letters.

Yandex start page in Opera

As mentioned earlier, the settings in all browsers are very similar, so setting up the home page in Opera will be almost the same as in Mozilla.

To do this, open the menu in the browser and select the “Settings” section.

The latest versions of browsers are very similar, respectively, and the settings of many parameters are also the same, including the home page setting.

Then we press the "Set Pages" button and in the window that appears in the "Add a new page" line, specify the address http://www.yandex.ru/.

You can add multiple pages to the list at once, so multiple tabs will open when you start your browser.

If, at the time of installing the start page, the Yandex page is open in your browser, then you can not manually enter the address, but just click the "Use current pages" button and the Yandex address will be displayed automatically.

After all the steps, click the "OK" button.

Homepage in Google Chrome

Installing a quick access page in Google Chrome is as simple as in previous versions.

To do this, in the “Menu” of the browser (a button in the form of 3 horizontal lines in the upper left corner), select the “Settings” item.

In older versions of Google Chrome, the "Menu" section may also be located in the right corner of the browser.

The "Settings" section of Google Chrome is very similar to the same section in the Opera browser. Is not it?)

A tab has opened where you need to enter the address of the home page, in our case this is the Yandex address. We agree with our introduced changes and click "OK".

As in previous browsers, you can simplify the task and click the "Use current pages" button if the search engine page is already open in the browser.

Yandex home page in Internet Explorer

Now there are a lot of versions of this browser that are installed on computers or laptops, so consider installing the Yandex home page on the latest versions of Internet Explorer - 10 and 11. If you have an earlier version of this browser installed, then the installation process will be similar to the algorithm below and it will not be difficult for you to independently install Yandex as the start page on your browser.

Four simple steps to set the home page for Internet Explorer:

1. You need to open the browser settings menu (top right);
2. Select the "Internet Options" tab;
3. In the "General" section, find the "Home Page" item and enter the address http://www.yandex.ru/ in the empty line.
4. In the "Startup" section, check the box on the line "Start from the home page" and click "OK".

Main page YANDEX In Yandex browser

The appearance of the Yandex browser is similar to the interface of Google Chrome, but there are some differences when setting the home page.

Home page pin scheme:

• Open browser settings.

The "Settings" section is presented as a gear icon at the top of the page

• In the context menu, select the "Settings" tab.

This browser does not have the ability to pin the start page. Perhaps this was done with the aim that all users of this program use the Yandex search service exclusively.

This item says that when the browser is reopened, tabs restored from the last session will be opened, but it is proposed to mark the sub-item “ Open www.yandex.ru if there are no tabs". That is, if you closed all the tabs before closing the program, then the next time you start the browser, the Yandex.

Yandex start page in Safari.

Safari is a young browser developed by Apple for its proprietary hardware. All modern users of iPhones and MacBooks know about this simple and convenient browser. Setting up a homepage in Safari takes just three simple steps:

1. In the upper right corner, click on the gear icon and go to the "Settings" section;
2. Next, select the "Basic" item;
3. In the "Home Page" window, enter the address of the Yandex search engine.

What to do if the start page is not installed on the browser?

Rarely, but there are situations when, even after following all the instructions, it is not possible to set the start page through the browser settings in manual mode. What to do in this case? There are several suggestions:

1. Try downloading the app http://home.yandex.ru/, which was mentioned at the very beginning of our article, and try to automatically make changes to the browser. Just remember that the start page will change in ALL installed browsers on your computer.
2. Clean up your computer using an antivirus and try again to set Yandex as your home page.
3. And finally, if all methods do not help to achieve the desired result, contact support your operating system. Describe your actions in detail, indicate any errors that occur, and add screenshots of your actions to your message.
