I've never used their normal search engine, but their image search blows Google out of the water.

I highly encourage anyone who frequently uses Google images to try out Yandex.

What's really interesting is the differences in the results -- it seems like Yandex is actually filtering for high quality art. I've got a project on the back burner to scrape google and Yandex for the same queries and then do different sorts of analysis on them and see if anything interesting pops up.

Going by eye, most photo results on Yandex are higher resolution, and more saturated. It also doesn't pull images from video thumbnails like Google does.

seconded. it's stellar, even better than what google used to be. feed it a cropped frame from a japanese cartoon and it returns links to illegitimate websites containing the full episode. google returns a nonsensical ML suggestion and no results
