With great topics, useful information on the issue page and more.
"Yandex" has officially launched a fresh version of the search, called Y2. With it, both functional innovations and visual innovations appear. Here's the most important thing.
Home page and application
The main page of "Yandex" and in the application has become simpler and clearer, all attention is now directed to the search bar. You can ask a question in any convenient way - text, voice or using a picture.
Search for objects, not sites
Search now does not just index web pages, but finds information about objects on them, accumulates it and shows it in the search results. The user does not have to explore dozens of sites on his own to choose a Python course or, for example, find a good pediatrician. All the most important things can be found right in the search results.
So, for the query "web development courses", the system will show a list of training programs with a price, training period and student reviews. It remains only to choose the appropriate course and go to the website of the training center.
Big Topics
A block appears on ya.ru and in the application where it is easy to find the history of your queries on a specific topic, saved articles and tips, what else to look for. This will make it easier to solve problems that cannot be solved in five minutes. For example, it can be organizing a wedding, buying a house or a car, renovating an apartment, and so on.
Video with translation
Y2 has filters to search for videos with automatic voice translation into Russian. Translation of videos from English, German, French, Italian and Spanish is now supported. It is also available for streaming and works in the Yandex application and in the Browser.
Child account
In Y2 appeared children's accounts, which protect the child from inappropriate content, such as sites for adults or with obscene language. Children's account can be linked to your own. It will work not only in search, but also on other Yandex services.
Search for programmers
Y2 better answers questions from developers and ML specialists. To do this, a CS YATI transformer neural network was introduced into the search, which was trained on programming requests. It takes into account one and a half times more parameters than YATI launched two years ago.
The Yandex team spoke in more detail about all the innovations in a short film.
