How to set up a request in Yandex. Search setting. Block inappropriate ads

16.01.2021

In the Yandex search engine, as in Google, there are advanced search settings (by dates, documents, sites, country, language, ...) and special pages for advanced search. Both are inconvenient due to the interface - a large number of buttons pressed, clicks and movements. For some (frequently used) search modes, user scripts have been made with the choice of one of dozens of buttons in one click. Only a few start buttons are visible on the screen, working as drop-down lists on mouse hover.

Such a script, once without dropping lists, has long worked on Google pages, and, judging by the number of downloads, has gained popularity among English-speaking users (there is a choice of 5 interface languages). Once it was thought that it would be easy to transfer it to Yandex, and on the weekend, in a couple of days, adaptation and repainting to Yandex colors was done, and now it appears to the "target audience" - people from IT, who sometimes have to search a lot and who are used to installing additional scripts and go to git hubs.

In addition to utilitarian use, the script can be interesting as a testing ground for interface solutions. A bunch of 2-3 scripts in the future can start working as a meta-search engine, everything for this is already there, except for the final touches - put linking buttons, port to mailru and other search engines.

Now let's look at what Yandex features were added to the previously existing Google solution.

The first and only limitation of Yandex that catches your eye is no search for the last hours... Most likely, Yandex does not yet have such functionality, the question on toster.ru did not bring an answer, but now, perhaps, developers from Yandex will write something in the comments.

There was also an expansion of functions in document search - the interface of queries to Yandex allows search by group of document types(multi-selection in the settings), and Google each time - only one type of document (PDF, DOC, SWF, ...).

Otherwise, the special settings mode intersects so well that it made it possible to make not only the interface similar, but also the storage of the settings parameters. This is a site (domain) search and a search for the last time interval (more than a day).

Settings storage details - solution with external localStorage

Previously, for Google, a similar extension acquired the preservation of search settings. Just because it is sometimes desirable to change the list of your domains or the interface language, and changes directly in the script are not enough, which is familiar only to front-end programmers, even with fairly frequent updates, it is not possible to save the code of a part of the script corrected by the user from the general update. If stored (in localStorage) settings appear, then the question is removed.

But then Google found itself in the habit of erasing local memory! Facebook users have also encountered this before, and to solve this problem there was a script for another reason (bookmarklet of bookmarks with scrolling of the window scrolling). Here - similarly, it was required to run from the Google domain somewhere to another domain, where the cleaning scripts would not reach. Communication was organized with a quiet modest page on github.io, where everything was safely stored, almost like in a bank. (This link will come in handy after installing the script to see where the settings were saved.)

For Yandex, this resulted in the fact that the storage of its settings was also done on the same domain (github.io). This immediately led to the fact that 2 different scripts, different domains and different search engines acquired common settings. No, it's extremely easy to separate them, but why? The list of favorite sites for search, the interface language, and subsequently - the storage of the latest date intervals - all this began to appear in the same way both in Google and in Yandex, provided that you use the same browser.

It is this mechanism that now makes it possible to very simply make a metasearch - add a field for commands to the saved settings - just the command "search" or "search with settings", or "search in selected search engines"). In the future, you can fantasize that there will be synchronous management of maps, and viewing in sections, for example, news, pictures. Agree, it is convenient to walk on the map in one window, and in the next one - to have a synchronous copy in Google maps in order to switch to the window with more complete information. And the output of pictures will be noticeably different and complementary.

Directory of advanced search options in Yandex and Google

This list, possibly complement user specialists and company developers (add on comments or drugs).
All methods and types are listed in order to organize a small reference book.
Much in the user script interface is not implemented. What has been implemented is indicated.

In Yandex:

by region
in the interface- a field with prompts, where the "region" is selected - a country, region or city;
in request - & rstr = with a signed magic many-digit number that matches another undocumented parameter lr for your region; not everything works - for example, a search in Manila (rstr = -10629, this is the Philippines) does not differ much from the general one;
by site or domain
in the interface- enter the domain name in the field (2 or 3 levels, no continuation)
in the search bar- we write (without quotes) "site: 3dnews.ru" or similar;
Yandex Extra Buttons - a drop-down list of pre-registered domains under the "site" button. The composition of the list can be changed in the settings, via the site button - Settings - settings form - page reload. Stored in external localStorage. It is useful to copy your list of domains for storage, transfer to another browser and for restoration.
in request - & site = anysite.ru;
around the country
in the interface- the button with the meaning "own country" is toggled, i.e. on the .by domain, this is the choice "by" and no more;
in request - & country = by, at the same time, you can specify some other countries for which Yandex works, but which of them actually works is not documented. For example, & country = tr or com.tr does not work, as well as many "not close" countries, not necessarily small;
exact query
in the interface- a separate button in a subheading or on a special page;
in the search bar- frame all words or some of them (making up the exact part of the query) with quotation marks;
in request - & wordforms = exact
by page language
the choice of languages is small, but it covers all countries where Yandex is present as a separate competing search engine, plus English, German, French; (this list may be a candidate for another button in the user script, but how many people use this setting? Most likely not);
by type(plural) documents
in the interface- choose from the multi-select list; with each click, the issuance of ajax changes (without rebooting); on the advanced page - select types from 14 (now) checkboxes;
in the search bar mime: pdf "or similar, many types are supported, but one per request; interestingly, this choice of types is NOT supported by subtitle scripts - obviously this is the older way of choosing an option;
Yandex Extra Buttons - a drop-down list of predefined document types under the "PDF" button, which itself also selects the specified type; on clicks, the page picks up the results and changes the list of selected types in the subheading; the script removes the display bug - colors the type button if at least one type has been selected; thus, the user script buttons, in fact, initiate "clicks" by type in the subtitle, do not display the results of the multi-selection themselves, but they work even without the subtitle (it appears after the first click);
in request - & mime = rtf or & mime = rtf% 2Cdoc by indicating all selected types; works and & mime = rtf & mime = doc and further; requests are made via AJAX, but with the main one you can send a non-ajax request in the same way;
by the last date interval
in the interface- 3 separate buttons in a subheading or 5 - on a special page;
Yandex Extra Buttons - 4 drop-down lists in the form of initially small 4 buttons - selection for the last few: days, weeks, months, years. The selected value is saved in the settings and moves to the beginning of the list, so that when you repeat the same selection, you just need to press the button. Technically, it is implemented through a request for an arbitrary date interval (section below), the page makes the request via AJAX, but from the main page it works like a regular page reload;
in request- magic parameter & within = number for some intervals; for example, & within = 1 - 2 weeks in advance; 77 - per day, 2 - per month; 3 - in 3 months; 4 - for half a year, 5 - for a year, 6 - for 2 years, etc., 7 - for the current day, 8 - for 3 days or 4 days (it is not known exactly, not verified), 9 - for 8 days; you can check, on the resulting page the interval is indicated with an accuracy of up to a day, and the results - with an accuracy of an hour to a day;
by date interval
in the interface- 2 fields with date pickers (plates for choosing dates from the calendar);
in request - & from_date_full = 01/11/2016 & to_date_full = 01/19/2016

There are a number of other more specific parameters, the query language (for example, negative keywords and the quotes mentioned), which we will not consider, but some of them may appear in the advanced search user script interface. In addition, Yandex has a number of page types (pictures, videos, news, Market, etc.), where requests may have specific features (for example, there is an image search, a search for a geographic location on a map). The script now covers the main field - text search.

In chapter Yandex news advanced search goes by other parameter names, and the script is not executed in this section at this stage. Google has the same rules for building queries in the news section, the script for Google works in all its main sections.

In Google:

Interestingly, different query parameters give the same results, but in 2 page designs - with a black title (older) and with a white one. At the same time, the quality of the issue is most likely the same. The advanced search page is now returning a black-headed response, and this is not necessarily true across countries. (It is also known that doodles issued at different hours for different time zones.)

type(singular) document
in the interface - advanced_search- file type:
- one of 10 formats; other types, except those named in the list, can be searched by a text query;
in the search bar- add (without quotes) " filetype: pdf"or the like;
Google Search Extra Buttons - so far done as 2 separate buttons (without lists) for PDF and DOC (other types in Google are quite convenient to set in the search bar, so many types of documents were introduced, only starting with the script for Yandex);
in request - & as_filetype = xls
by the last date interval
in the interface - Search Tools - (Any Time | Past <период>), then - 5 options, or there is an option to set any date interval here or on a special page;
Google Search Extra Buttons - 5 drop-down lists in the form of initially small 5 buttons - selection for the last few: days, weeks, months, years, hours(in addition to the same in Yandex). The selected value is saved in the settings and moves to the beginning of the list, so that when the same selection is repeated, it would be enough to press the button;
in request- 2 types of requests with the same results, but with different design of the SERP
& as_qdr = m2- view with black title;
& tbs = qdr: h1- a newer look; h, d, w, m, or y are used instead of "h"; number - the number of dimensional units or empty, which is equivalent to 1;
by date interval
in the interface - Search Tools - (Any Time | Past <период>) - Custom Range ...; on the special page - selection only for the last few date intervals (section above);
Google Search Extra Buttons - a separate button that immediately calls the interface form; on the main page - there is no support for it, so the button is not displayed by the script;
in request - & tbs = cdr% 3A1% 2Ccd_min% 3A12% 2F29% 2F2015% 2Ccd_max% 3A1% 2F5% 2F2016;
by site or domain, including top level (.com, .cc, ...)
in the interface- on the advanced search page (gear icon - Advanced Search);
in the search bar- add (without quotes) " site: anysite.com"or the like, including a dotless top-level domain;
Google Search Extra Buttons - a separate button with a drop-down list with predefined domains, the list of which can be changed in the settings. When you click on the initial button, it does not initiate a search, but only displays the text in the search bar, which is convenient for adjusting the domain. Therefore, the first domain can be specified as an empty string at all;
in request - & as_sitesearch = anysite.com;

Other parameters - Google has a number of other parameters for text search and query language, the detailed consideration of which is beyond the scope of the article, but they may appear in the future in the user script interface.

exact word or group
any of the words
excluding words
interval of dimensions (kg, currency units, years)
by page language
in the region (state)
in place on the page
family filter
by licenses

The search results can be sorted by relevance or date.
There are a number of search types (pictures, videos, news, maps, ...), where the search parameters will be different or with specifics. Script Google Search Extra Buttons retains the type of search page it was started from.

On the topic of organizing metasearch for regular queries

(Next will be plans and fantasies of interest to interface developers.)

In its simplest form, metasearch is the viewing of results in 2 adjacent windows of the same browser. Additionally, you can search for identical answers from the second window. If you aim to get the output in one window, you need to decide where in the list to embed list items from the second window. Most likely, it is convenient to embed at about the same position that the element occupied in the 2nd window. And, of course, indicate from which search engine the answers came, so that the user accumulates statistics in his memory, for which requests from which search engine he received a useful answer.

Search engine policy note. It is technically impossible to do metasearch in one window, because modern large search engines strictly enforce that the request is not executed in a frame, so that the answer comes to the real page, and not to the XMLHTTP object. This is due to the income from accompanying advertising, which is now the main bread of any search engine. For the user, on the contrary, the result is important and the maximum is the engine that gives it.

Metasearch on scripts is the likelihood of the near future. For implementation - script codes are available on GitHub (Yandex, Google), new solutions are welcome.

Site search is a function formed within the resource itself, which is designed for quick and convenient selection of content of interest.

If your site has more than 20 pages, then the possibility of internal search in it must be provided without fail. Currently, there are many options for implementing internal search, each of which has its own characteristics.

Let's look at a simple example to understand what site search is for. Go to Avito.ru, which hosts millions of ads. The fastest way to find the information you are looking for on such a huge resource is possible only by using the search function on the site.

Signs of a good website search

There are several general parameters that work for every visitor:

Site search must be visible. It should be located in a convenient place on the home page.
Any user should understand that the site has a search form. Without adding a field with identifying marks and an appropriate title, it is difficult to understand that this is a site search.

What is required from the search on the site

Setting up a site search involves the implementation of several functions within a specific resource:

Search based on morphology. Regardless of the ending, case and other features of the Russian language, the system should look for exactly what the visitor needs. One of the options for achieving the desired result is to bring all the words from the query and phrases of the site content to the desired form.
Formation of the search context. Autonomous selection of the site context within which the search algorithm operates, as well as determining the significance for all such frameworks. For example, in an online store, the main priority of the site search form will be product names. The second priority is selection by product properties, etc.
Indexing the content of the resource. The procedure is carried out only after changes or additions to the content. The search is carried out by the index.
Ranking mechanism. The ranking of search results is a sorting process that analyzes the significance of the collected data. For example, if identical words are contained in two different articles, then the priority will be the result, where the given word is displayed in a larger number.

What is the setting of search on the site

In the process of installing a site search, it is necessary to configure a morphological analyzer, a ranking, indexing and search algorithm.

How a properly configured search works:

The content of the resource is indexed.
The user enters a request.
Service parts of the proposal are removed from the request.
The string is divided into an array of baseline words.
The search for words is carried out in the index.
Results are ranked. They are sorted and sent to the audience.

How to do a site search using Google and Yandex

Let's consider how to do a site search using Yandex. It offers a free search integration model. It is convenient, and in addition to morphology, correcting typos and errors, it provides an opportunity to add a list of synonyms and a special form of hints to each word. This will most likely help you quickly find the content you are looking for.

Site search settings are extremely simple. You can set all the parameters yourself. The service has flexible settings for search elements and appearance, which makes it possible to design it in accordance with the style of the resource in the required colors. You can search not only text, but also pictures.

Yandex search settings

Site search is configured using the Yandex.Webmaster tool. You need to go to Yandex search and click "Set search". After that, you need to enter all the data required by the system, including the site name, email address and search parameters. Next, the selection of the appearance of the function is carried out, it is indicated exactly where the search page on the site will be located. Then its work is checked. If everything is in order, then the function is added to the site by copying the service code.

Features and customization of Google search

Unlike Yandex, Google is a paid tool, but the demand for it is very high. By paying about $ 100 per year, the resource owner gets:

Personalized look and feel of search. You can remove the service logo and customize your own.
Search in all languages.
Search on the site with, which makes it possible to instantly find what you need, even if the request was not written the way it is displayed on the resource.
Indexing if necessary - the ability to send information to the search robot immediately after the saved changes.
The ability to search multiple resources at the same time.
Keeping statistics.
Advertising revenue.

How to do a site search using Google? It is required to go to the Google custom search engine and fill out a special form. Then you can choose styles, fonts, colors for the search bar, etc. After completing the settings, you need to copy the generated code into the body of the page where the function will be displayed.

Site search is an indispensable tool for any resource, one of the elements of user loyalty to it. Anyone who does not know how to do it using PHP and HTML, does not have web programming skills, the best option is to use scripts from Yandex and Google. They are maximally adapted for this function, and really help in promoting the site to the top of the search results.

Hello dear readers of the blog site. Today I want to continue the topic and move on to describing my main tool, which I have been using for the second millennium.

Historically, I usually drive first Yandex search, and only then, if nothing worthy is found, I switch to Google (recently, by the way, I wrote about what tools can and how they can be used).

In Yandex, as well as in Google, there is a place to have its own (but very similar) query language, an advanced filter, as well as a family search. True, there is no such rich set of filters in the search results itself (the page with search results), but there is a display that is present in this search result. I don't know about you, but this case helps me a lot to quickly find sites worthy of my attention, which I trust and whose answers I was quite happy with before.

Is it convenient to search in Yandex?

In general, of course, it looks a little strange that I write about the main tool of the Yandex corporation (read) after I have reviewed other (secondary in relation to search) services:

Probably, this happened because the very process of searching for information on the Internet has become for us as self-evident a thing as breathing, walking, talking, etc. We do not focus on this, although if we approach this process with sense and arrangement, then it will be possible to significantly save our time, nerves and find something that under normal conditions would have escaped our attention.

So let's go over the look of the search results page and the tools that are there.

At the very top is a list of other Yandex services and thematic searches that you may be interested in. However, the results of the general search results are also mixed with the results from the search for news, products, pictures, etc. For example, on the right, images are displayed just from the image search.

For some types of queries, Yandex (as well as Google) is able to give rather specific answers. At the mirror of Runet, this feature is called names sorcerer... There are a lot of sorcerers (you can read and see about them on this page). Sometimes the sorcerer displays his block, similar to what I described in the article about, and sometimes he only gives a link, for example, to.

When you request the weather, right after the request input form, you will see the weather wizard:

Settings and search capabilities

If you have a slow Internet channel (for example, through a mobile phone), then you can disable the display of the graphic banner and picture located on the right (the "Settings" button in the upper right corner of the issuing window).

By default, the display of site icons (favicons) is also enabled in the search box settings, which allow you to visually very quickly find among the results those sites that you are used to trusting. Also, there it will be possible to increase the number of responses on the page with the results to 50, which, personally, I do, because in the top ten there is a lot of noise, as a rule.

You can enable the display of separate statistics for each of the words contained in your query (displayed under the query input form), but this will be an unnecessary overkill for the vast majority of users. Yes, even in Yandex search results you can sometimes see dialog prompts(see the gray buttons in the previous screenshot under the request entry form), which allow you to quickly view the results for the specified request.

Search tips and what is important can be seen in the search results (results)

Yes, I'm still talking about Yandex search tips did not say. They now become personalized by default and take into account all the requests you previously typed and all other nuances of your personal life.

You can turn off their personalization either on this page, or by clicking on the corresponding link (My queries) directly from the drop-down window with these same search tips.

See, this settings page is different from the general search settings page. For some reason, Yandex has several such pages and the functionality of some of them overlaps. Behold all possible search settings Runet mirrors will be available on the Tune.yandex.ru page.

Previously, I also chose to display a more detailed snippet taken from the site text (in the "Document Description" option "Advanced") or its description, so as not to once again go to those resources where the answer to my question, most likely, will not be found. Now, with a sufficiently fast Internet (), it is easier to go to the site than to read the snippet that is formed by the mirror of the Russian Internet is not always successful and informative.

Below the snippet is a chain of links leading to the found document on this site (like breadcrumbs), which in some cases can stimulate additional clicks if they are attracted by the name of the category or section where this very page lives. Usually, these chains are taken from the breadcrumbs available on the site.

The title of the document is taken from, although exceptions can sometimes be made. But this is rather important not for those who are looking for in Yandex, but for those who want to be found ().

The user is more interested in, for example, the link "Copy", which allows you to view a copy of this document saved in the cache of the search engine. This may be needed in a case or in a case that will lead to the impossibility of switching to it from the Yandex issue.

In addition, on the page with the copy, the keywords you typed will be highlighted with a bright yellow background, although this case can be turned off by simply unchecking the "highlight query words" box. Using the arrows to the right and left of the query text, you can navigate between the found keywords and in the text.

But there is an even better way to see something that no longer exists - this. A very interesting thing, and even about thin or not very humor of Yandex itself can tell us (the source is located, and the selected fragment is visible only when selected, because it is written in white on a white background, which is strictly prohibited by the rules of the search engines themselves).

Also, you probably noticed that, as a rule, in the search results for Yandex, and Google, too, most often there is only one page from the site. Here. And if you are interested in this particular resource and all the information on the problem you are interested in found only on it, then the button will come to your aid. "Yet".

Much less often you can find the inscription "Found by link", which will tell you that the words from your request were not found on this site, but there are links leading to this document, in the anchor of which such words were present. Similarly, the site of Bush Jr. was successfully searched for by a completely impartial phrase, which could not be in the text of his pages. Guess how it happened?

The next area of Yandex search settings allows you to select the language in which you would prefer to see the answers, and it is also possible to prohibit the automatic correction of typos or errors you have made in your request. In fact, before there was even such a trend as promotion on queries with errors that are often repeated. But now Yandex itself fixes them and the trick no longer works.

Family search, live streaming and related searches

Here you can enable or, conversely, disable filtering of adult content (who needs what). By default, a moderate filter is used, when adult content will be shown only if you explicitly want to see it in the request. If children use the computer, then it would be best to switch to Family search, in order to avoid all sorts of unpleasant excesses.

Well, if you really want to prevent the possibility of including adult content in search results, then you can use a special Yandex site for family search Family.yandex.ru, which looks exactly the same as the main page of the Russian Internet mirror, and which can be added as a default search and home page in the browsers you use.

They also have a special search for people, where you can search for a person both in all popular networks, and in some individual of them.

Since we started talking from special Yandex sites with a specific search, how do you like this option Dnez search, when by clicking the "Find" button, the results for one of the currently typed request will be shown:

It will also be very interesting to follow the link. "Live " and see in the background exactly what queries and in what point of the planet those who are trying to search for something in Yandex are typing.

In the last part of the search results settings, you can enable or disable Yandex tracking you and take into account the received data when generating prompts and issuing.

Just like in Google, a dossier will be created for those who decide to search for something in Yandex, which can be viewed by clicking on the link "My findings". Everything, the settings are over.

By the way, at the bottom of the search results window are quite common related queries, which were entered by the same users, trying to find an answer to their question. Firstly, by clicking on them, you can see a page with these search results, well, and secondly, webmasters can select here for their future articles.

Unlike the rich sets of Google filters, we see only sort switches by relevance (matching the query text) or by date. Moreover, the latter method gives out sites that are extremely far from what you wanted to see by entering your request.

Yandex Advanced Search and Query Language

All filtering capabilities are concentrated exclusively in advanced Yandex search, which we will now quickly and consider.

Thus, not only experts in the language of queries of this search engine (by the way, it is very similar to the language of Google queries), but also ordinary unprepared users can search professionally in Yandex. First, you enter your query in the "I'm looking for" field, where you can use one or more operators to narrow your search. In Google, in this regard, advanced search is more functional.

Let's go over those now search language operators that you may really need:

By default, Yandex places a logical OR operator between all the words of a query. However, if you need one of the words would have been present, then put a + sign in front of it without a space on the right, but with a mandatory space on the left:

Website promotion + Moscow

Just like any other search engine, the Runet mirror ignores words that are too often found in queries. These are the so-called stop words and most often these are prepositions, particles or pronouns. In order for these stop words to be taken into account by you, again, it will be enough to put a + sign in front of them without a space:

Engine + for the site

You can also search using negation operator... For example, you need to find an overview of some thing, but in the results you come across some online stores with this product. How to be? Pretty simple. It is enough to put a double tilde ~~ (with a space between them and the word) in front of the words that you do not want to see in the output, well, or at worst a minus sign (without a space on the right, but with a space on the left):

IPad 4 ~~ prices ~~ buy iPad 4 -prices -buy

Often people are looking for quotes, and for this it is possible to enclose this phrase in double quotes so that Yandex searches for these words in the same sequence.
If you have forgotten one or several words in any quote, proverb or proverb, you can put an asterisk * sign or signs * separated from other words by spaces instead of them: "rested in *"

By default, Yandex understands the morphology of the Russian language and searches not only for those word forms (cases and numbers) that you used in your query, but also for all others (smart type). True, this does not apply to parts of speech (if a noun is indicated in the request, then adjectives formed from this word will not be searched). But this is no longer important.

Another thing is that on rare occasions you may need prevent Yandex from searching based on morphology... This can be done with exclamation mark put without a space in front of the word that will need to be searched only in the form in which you used it (case, number).

"!website promotion"

Moreover, if the search word is usually written with a capital letter (for example, a surname), then an exclamation mark in front of such a word will force the search engine to search only for words with a capital letter:

Lev! Nikolaevich

There is also a variant of using a double exclamation mark, which makes the Runet mirror search by the dictionary form of this word, but I am far from linguistics and did not understand in what cases this could be useful.

Often a situation may arise that the search on a site that you are interested in is so stupid and stupid that it is better not to use it. In this case, of course, you can turn to Yandex advanced search (see the screenshot just above) and specify the address of the desired site (or several sites separated by commas) in order to limit the search area.

But everyone can do this. The use of Site query language operator which will look something like this:

Website promotion site: https: // site

Also, advanced search allows you to select type of documents, in which the phrase you need will be searched for (ordinary Internet pages, pdf documents, Word files and something else like that). Conveniently, when an essay or diploma is found exactly in the format that is required for its delivery, there is no need to make unnecessary gestures. However, the operator Mime it will be much more cool to use: website promotion mime: doc
It is not entirely clear why this may be needed, but since ancient times there have been operators of the Runet mirror & and && that allow you to search for words separated by it in the same sentence or in the same document (in fact && replaces the default logical OR operator with the AND operator)

Even more mysterious for me is the operator of the Yandex query language in the form slash "/", which allows you to set the interval (measured in number of words) that will be maintained when searching for your query. The distance between adjacent words is taken equal to one.

Promotion / 2 sites

This means that there cannot be more than one word between the words "promotion" and "site" in the documents found. And there are also options for using the plus or minus sign in front of a number to determine the order of words. Yes, and you can also shove & (&&) into the same place, so that the tower of a very poor user will be demolished:

Promotion && / (- 1 +2) sites

And as you can see from the last example, we can use parentheses to compose super-complex queries.
In advanced search, you can quite subtly limit the scope by specifying a certain time interval when these documents were created or updated. There are also query language operators that allow you to do the same - Date... It allows you to set both a specific date and intervals.

You will find examples of using all the mentioned and forgotten operators, perhaps this will help you search in Yandex more productively, quickly and with less nerve cells.

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

Change the background of the main page

Instead of the classic white theme, Yandex provides a variety of pictures and photos, broken down into categories. Their application will help to brighten up your stay on the site while obtaining the necessary information from the search engine.

To choose a background, check out the article at the link below, which details the setup steps. Thus, a boring white theme will be transformed into a pleasant landscape or a funny picture.

Customizing homepage widgets

The Yandex start page contains several customizable widgets in the form of news, posters, and other information. The TV program of the channels you are interested in is also indicated manually, news can be read by selected headings, links to visited pages of sites are divided into certain services that are marked by interests, and the weather adjusts to the location or is set manually. If you are not interested in anything from the proposed, then you can simply delete them and enjoy a blank page with one search string.

After studying this article, you can easily edit Yandex widgets to suit your needs, which in the future will help you find the information you need faster.

Location setting

To see the current weather for your (or any other) region, current news or the regional billboard, Yandex automatically determines the location by adjusting the information of the widgets and the search engine.

If you need to view data from a different geographic area, you can switch in the settings. An article that addresses the relevant question will help you with this. Change your location and, without resorting to the search bar, control information about the weather, news and other things, by specifying a specific city.

Setting up the Yandex start page does not require complex manipulations and takes a little time, but the result will be pleasing every time you visit the site.

Customize Yandex for yourself in order to increase the efficiency of searching for information on the Internet and make working with found documents more comfortable:

If you are logged into your Yandex account, the settings are tied to yours. Also, information about the settings is saved on your computer (in a file) and is valid until you change it.

The settings are tied to a specific browser - in another browser, Yandex search will have to be configured again. Also, the settings will have to be updated if you delete all cookies (for example, when you reinstall your browser or operating system).

If several users work with the computer or several browsers are installed on it, then the settings can be made separately for each user and browser.

Feel free to experiment. If you wish, you can always return to the default settings (button Set default values On the page ).

How to make your search query more specific

You can also use the query language directly when typing a query in the search bar.

How to set up a fix request

If, when typing a query, a typo was made or an incorrect keyboard layout was selected, Yandex will determine this. And you can specify whether you want to automatically correct your search query or just offer a hint. To do this, select the required value on the page (the Settings link at the bottom of the search results page).

How to set the interface language

You can set the language in which the search results page will be displayed.

Note. This setting does not affect the language of the found documents.

You can select the interface language on one of the following pages:

Regardless of where the language was set (in the search results settings or in the general settings), the selected value will be set as the interface language for all Yandex services.

How to exclude pages "for adults" from SERP

Select the degree of cleaning the search results from documents containing profanity and content "for adults":

moderate filter - sites "for adults" are excluded from the search results if the request is not explicitly aimed at finding such resources (the mode is enabled by default);

family search - content "for adults" is completely excluded from search results (even if the request is clearly aimed at finding such resources), as well as sites containing obscene language;

without Borders - the search results contain all documents found by request, including Internet resources "for adults".

Configure page filtering in one of the following ways:

Select the required value on the page (Settings link at the bottom of the search results page).

How to set up personal search

Specify whether Yandex should use your search history and referrals to sites from search results. This setting allows you to take your interests into account when generating suggestions and a page with search results.
