Clean search results, comrades!
I read a good article about search engines today, but I’ve closed so many windows I’ve pushed it out of my history. Dangit! I wanted to link and quote from it.
The gist was, the writer tested all the major search engines to see if they were depressing results. He described the specific searches he did. RT was one of them. Project Veritas. 2020 election fraud. All the search engines you’ve heard of did poorly on more than one of his tests.
Except Yandex. Which, if you don’t know, is Russia’s own search engine.
I tried it and…I really like it! It has a quick, clean interface and clean search results. It does have a tendency to show you some hits in Russian (make sure you go to yandex.com, not yandex.ru and it’s a little better).
I registered with them, thinking I could specify English only if I did that. No, but they did give me a free email. I don’t think now is the time to be using stoatyweasel@yandex.ru, but thanks anyway, Russkies.
No, I’m not a supporter of what Russia is up to, but I’m reeaaallly not a supporter of having my search engine results sanitized by the government. And I think it’s painfully boneheaded to stop eating Russian dressing or playing Tchaikovsky because Vlad is bad man.
