Search from Yandex.Answers: the power of search algorithms plus the mass of UGC
Recently Yandex launched the Yandex.Answers http://ask.yandex.ru. At first glance, classical question-answering service. However, if you look deeper, yandeksoidy presented us with an interesting concept for a new search engine.
Many of us experienced with the problems in the discussion of various topics in blogs and forums. Indeed, to get the right answer to the question, but it is very difficult. People can't read and not respond to what is referred to in the question, people answer, do not understand the subject, people are engaged in advertising. I tried ask the question on the website Yandex.Answers (intention question was asked in such a, not very detailed form), the result is obvious – the answer I never got.
So, the main advantage provided by Yandex.Answers — search for existing answers. Why ask what someone has asked before us? Why waste your time on comments to incorrect answers if you can take advantage of the fact that people have already done it before and simply enjoy the fruits of their labor?
If we assess Yandex.The answers from the point of view of search technology, the company Yandex has presented a rather innovative solution:
• the system looks for a unique search index (question-answering services, forums, consultations, LJ communities);
• the system understands the queries raised at the informal or, as they say, a natural language;
• respond to user requests kind of gives itself is not a search engine, and people – other Network users, the bright example of the idea of UGC-search.
The uniqueness of the service consists of the following:
• was first indexed by services such as forums, consultations, "target" projects;
• search search this index makes it much faster to get to the result than to wait for that answer other users;
• the search results are actually formed by the users themselves, responding to the question (something similar was tried to do the authors Wikia). However, unlike conventional services of this type, when the answer is to wait, then it appears instantly.
So, in General, Yandex rolled out a great tool. And unique. It can be argued that this service is another step towards development UGC search. That's just surprising as in not Google this? More precisely, smart enough, but in another form
