Yandex is getting more and more of my web queries lately. There's a definite irony there.

Google and Bing (so DuckDuckGo as well) seem to like searching for synonyms of search terms and returning the most popular results, thinking popular means relevant. I remember looking for something where I remembered the exact terms and not getting anywhere with them, but on Yandex it was the first hit.
Yandex shows what it thinks you want, Google shows what it thinks you should want.
