Yandex full computer version. How to set Yandex as the start page in the browser

Adviсe

How to make the Yandex home page the starting page in the browser so that it opens automatically immediately after starting the program. In this case, the website (www.yandex.ru) of the Yandex search engine will act as the main (start) page of the browser.

Typically, users independently choose what exactly will be opened after launching the browser: a search engine page, launching several pages at once, opening a specific web page, a page with the most frequently visited sites (express panel), or a page with certain sites (service or extension for so-called visual bookmarks).

Many people start working in the browser from the Yandex main page, which they use as their home (start) page. Therefore, users need the main page of the Yandex search engine website to open immediately after launching the browser. How to make Yandex start page launch automatically?

There are two ways to set Yandex.ru as the main page:

bookmark to the Yandex home page - “home page” in some browsers
opening the start page automatically after starting the browser

If you use a bookmark, to open the yandex.ru page, the user will additionally have to click on the button with the image of a house located opposite the address bar in the browser.

Another option is to launch the start page (Yandex main page) automatically, immediately after opening the browser window. This is the most suitable option for those who need to open the main page of the Yandex search engine as the browser start page.

There are 3 options for installing the Yandex home page in browsers as the initial page that opens at startup:

independently changing the settings of a specific browser to save the Yandex home page
special Yandex application for automatic configuration
changing the home page using Yandex Browser Manager

From time to time, Yandex itself offers the user who has opened the main page of the search engine to automatically set their page as the starting page in the browser.

Next, let's see how to make Yandex ru the start page in popular browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer. Keep in mind that Yandex Browser does not have a start page. There are also special “Yandex versions” of some popular browsers, in which settings are made for Yandex.

A special Yandex application, or the Yandex Browser Manager program, will help you install the home page in your browser.

How to make Yandex the start page in Google Chrome

You can get quick access to the main page using the “Home Page” button in the Google Chrome browser, but this is not what we need. We need the Yandex website to open immediately in the Chrome browser.

Launch the Google Chrome browser, and then do the following:

Go to Settings and Control Google Chrome and then click on Settings.
In the “Open at startup” section, activate the “Specified pages” option, and then click on the “Add page” link.
In the “Add Page” window that opens, enter the Yandex website address: https://www.yandex.ru/, and then click on the “Add” button.
Restart your Google Chrome browser.

After launching the browser, all pages added to this list will open, including the Yandex home page. By default, several pages of some search engines are added to the browser, so most likely the Yandex page will not be in first place.

If you need to leave only one page in the browser (in our case, a Yandex web page) so that it opens automatically, the remaining pages can be removed from the list of specified pages.

Opposite the name of the page in the “Set Pages” list, click on the “More” button (in the form of three dots), and then select the desired option: “Delete” or “Change”.

After deleting unnecessary pages, the Yandex home page will move to the top of the list, or remain singular.

If there are several specified pages in the list, they will all open after launching the browser. The Yandex.ru website will open first (it will be displayed in the browser window), other pages from the list of specified ones will open in other deposits (not active).

If the Yandex page is in the singular in the list of specified pages, then in the browser after launch, only one page will open: yandex.ru.

Setting Yandex as the home page in Mozilla Firefox

Now we will install the Yandex home page in the Mozilla Firefox browser, which opens automatically when the browser starts.

In order to make Yandex the start page in Mozilla Firefox, go to your browser settings and do the following:

Click on the "Open menu" button.
Enter "Settings".
In the “General” tab, in the “When Firefox starts” setting, select the “Show home page” option.
In the “Home Page” field, enter the URL address of the main page of the Yandex website: https://www.yandex.ru/.
Restart your Mozilla Firefox browser.

Now, after opening the Firefox browser, the user will see the Yandex main page.

How to make Yandex the home page in Opera

The Opera browser by default opens an express panel with favorite sites. The user can independently add any page from the Internet to the panel. In Opera, it is possible to open not the express panel at startup, but the Yandex website as the browser’s home page.

To save the Yandex home page as the start page in the Opera browser, you need to make the following settings:

Click on the "Menu" button (Opera Settings and Controls).
In the context menu, select “Settings”.
In the “At startup” settings section, activate the “Open a specific page or several pages” option.
Click on the "Set Pages" link.
In the “Start Pages” window, in the “Add a new page” field, enter the address of the Yandex home page, and then click on the “OK” button.
Restart the Opera browser.

After this, the Yandex home page will open in the Opera browser when launched.

Setting Yandex as the home page in Microsoft Edge

The Microsoft Edge browser has the ability to change the start page that opens when you launch the browser.

Do the following in sequence:

Click the Settings and More icon.
Go to Settings.
In the "Show in a new Microsoft Edge window" setting, select the "Specific page or pages" option.
In the “Enter URL” field, insert the address of the Yandex home page, and then click on the “Save” button (floppy disk).
Restart the Microsoft Edge browser.

Now the Yandex home page automatically launches in the Microsoft Edge browser.

How to make Yandex the start page in Internet Explorer

To change the home page in the Internet Explorer browser, go to the browser settings and change the settings:

Click on the "Service" icon.
In the context menu that opens, click on “Internet Options”.
In the “Internet Options” window, in the “General” tab, in the “Home Page” option, enter the address of the Yandex home page in the URL field.
Click on the "OK" button.
Please make sure that the “Start from Home Page” option is enabled in the “Startup” option.
Restart Internet Explorer.

Now the Yandex search engine website will open in the Internet Explorer browser immediately after launching the application.

Yandex home page in a browser using the Yandex application

The special Yandex application automatically installs the Yandex home page in the browser as the start page. Go to the page https://home.yandex.ru/, install the extension in supported browsers.

Setting the Yandex start page in the Yandex Browser Manager

The free Browser Manager program from Yandex is designed to manage browser settings and protect browser settings from changes.

In the Browser Manager, you need to select a supported browser, in the “Home Page” setting, enter the address of the Yandex web page in the appropriate field, and then click on the “Save” button.

how to switch to Yandex

The home page creates the most important, first impression of your site. Therefore, it must be done thoughtfully and efficiently. To make sure your site's home page looks exactly like this, follow some tips.

Instructions

Think about the design. The design of the home page sometimes differs from the design of other pages. It should be more original, but not boring. Think about what elements you could do without and remove them. Make sure your site logo is prominently displayed. Be sure to take care of a competent navigation system - from the main page the user should be able to get to any section of the site. If your resource has a lot of materials, do a site search. The user should be able to easily find the search on the page.

Start filling. What to put on the home page? This could be news from your site, or just news on the topic of the resource. It would be a good idea to create informers for other sections. Thanks to them, a visitor, upon entering the main page of the site, will immediately find out which sections have been updated. In addition, some headlines can attract the user, and he will stay on your site longer.

Also, the main page can contain basic information about the site. Try to write it as briefly as possible, but more interesting. Present your resource at its best. But don’t splurge—you shouldn’t describe something that isn’t on the site. Even if you plan to create something similar in the near future.

A bar is a panel for an Internet browser that includes a number of tools that make it easier to access resources, search for information and save the user’s time. If Yandex.Bar is no longer displayed in your browser window, there are several ways to get it back.

Every Internet user uses search engines to find the necessary information. How to search for information in Yandex? At first glance, everything looks quite simple and easy. We go to the Internet, open the main page of the search engine, write down the question that interests us and begin to study and sort the answers obtained as a result of the search.

But not everyone knows that they have some secrets that can make searching for information easier, more accessible and enjoyable.

Let's consider the main features and capabilities of this system.

How to correctly search for information in Yandex with a query in a few words?

How to search correctly in Yandex? The very first thing that needs to be done is to formulate the request itself as accurately as possible. It must include two or more words. When you enter it into the search bar, the system traditionally returns similar queries and synonymous words. For example, you need to find an answer to the question: “Where can I have a good rest?” In the search bar, when you enter a query, synonymous words and sentences begin to be added, leading to the sites of the services offered (at sea, in Egypt, in India). Some people like this because it makes searching much easier, but some find it distracting. If you belong to the latter category, then try to accurately formulate the question to which you want to find the answer in Yandex. Alternatively, put it in regular quotes and write it in the input line.

If you forgot a word, you can put any sign in its place. For example: enter a line in quotes, and put “*” in place of the unknown word.

For example, in Yandex, search for: “Diagnostic * in gynecology.” Using this formulation is convenient when searching and selecting quotes, lines from famous books, poems, when some words are simply forgotten.

It is convenient to search for information in Yandex because it provides answers to the synonyms found. You can also list synonyms in the search bar, putting them in brackets and separating them with the sign I. For example: “successful conduct of (business I business I entrepreneurship).”

How to search correctly in Yandex, using all the capabilities of the sign system

But what if you need to find sites where the specified query should be used completely and without changes? How to search exactly in Yandex? To do this, enter the complete sentence into the search bar using the & sign.

Let's look at an example: “In order & to use & the & five & secrets & of & effective & communication & you need & the following.”

It happens that when you enter a large query, the search engine produces unnecessary links that make the search much more difficult. If you want the sentences to contain a specific word, then search using the “+” sign: “Learning English + courses.”

In Yandex, look for answers to questions that contain general information (for example, about the product being sold, the services offered), without wasting time viewing pages about their sale.

Have you decided to purchase a specific car, but just want to get acquainted with its characteristics? Then enter “CITROËN C4 PICASSO - buy” in the search bar.

Possibilities

In Yandex, search for information using the following options:

1. If you need to access a specific site, then indicate it in the request. Example: “Clothing site: http: site name.”

2. You can find a specific document by specifying its type in the search bar.

3. If you need to find information in a specific language, then enter the following command. Example: Michael Jackson lang: en (you can specify any necessary language - ru, uk, be).

The Yandex search system provides the opportunity to search not only for information by entering verbal queries: you can also find videos and pictures that interest you, create a mailbox and access letters around the clock.

Search for pictures and images

Consider the possibility of searching for images. How to search for pictures in Yandex?

The system finds the exact or similar image and provides the result. The picture can be saved on the user's computer or on the Internet.

Please note: the image must be in jpeg, gif, png format and must not exceed 8 MB in size.

We perform the following steps:

2. Upload the image. If the image has its own Internet address, then enter it in the search bar or upload a picture from your computer that was previously saved. You can use a simple method: using the left mouse button, drag the picture to the specified location.

Searching for similar images allows the user to explore other images. For example, you liked a thing and want to purchase it in the future. By uploading a picture to the Yandex system, you can view similar items, the offered assortment, and also select a site with sales conditions that suit you.

The most popular queries in Yandex

Internet users may have a question: “What is most often searched for in Yandex?” This may seem strange, but people are interested in the number of most frequently entered queries, keywords, and query sizes. In order to find the answer to one question, a person spends approximately 2-3 minutes. A huge number of queries consist of several words (3-5), and there are fewer and fewer single-word queries. These include, for example, the names of social networks, mail, and adult sites. There is also a large number of qualifying words: buy, sell, find, download, price, free, cost, delivery.

In short, the system is so versatile that it can satisfy a wide variety of information search needs for users.

Conclusion

These are the main recommendations that simplify the search for information in the Yandex system, open up the possibility of using sites that contain the necessary information and answer the question of how to correctly search in Yandex. By putting our tips into practice, you will see that finding the information you need will be much easier. And the result will please you: you will get rid of the “water” 100%, getting exactly what you wanted. Now you know how to search for information in Yandex. Go for it!

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. If you are not familiar yet, then I would like to introduce you to one of the most popular online services on the RuNet called Yandex. It has existed since 1996 and at the dawn of its formation it was exclusively .

Let’s put aside the question “what is Yandex today” for a moment, and let’s talk about where such a strange name came from. Why Yandex? There are several interpretations on this matter and they all answer the question posed.

True, only one of them reflects the real train of thought of the author of this now super-popular word, who was one of the founding fathers of this search engine - Ilya Segalovich(unfortunately, he left us in the middle of last year).

Why is Yandex called Yandex?

In the above photo he is on the far left. Standing next to him is his comrade-in-arms and the second fundamentally Yandex - Arkady Volozh. Well, on the right are Sergey Brin and Larry Page - . This photo was taken at the beginning of this century, when Google planned to buy our domestic search engine and its executives came to Russia for negotiations, but the deal never took place.

So, Ilya was faced with a difficult task - choose a name for the future search engine(not yet available at that time via the Internet) and at the same time not lose face in the dirt. The search keyword index was taken as a basis (read about how important the index is for them, and what it even is).

It was decided that the word-forming phrase would be “yet another indexer,” which translated means “another indexer.” In general, quite modestly and without any claims for future stunning success. The English language in Russia at that time was “” and, naturally, the search system was originally named in the Latin alphabet: YANDEX(Yet Another iNDEXer).

However, the main feature of Yandex at that time (and even now) was that it searches for answers on the Internet. Besides him, at that time the only one doing this was , which is now no longer a full-fledged search engine. In general, the founding fathers decided that they needed to add the Russian letter I at the beginning instead of the English Y and it turned out YANDEX. This could already be interpreted as a Language INDEX.

At that time, its home page looked like this (design by Tema Lebedev):

In 2008, the fashion for writing company names in Latin letters came to an end and YANDEX began to be called simply Yandex.

There are several other interpretations, why Yandex is called Yandex, and despite the fact that they are quite logical and concise, they appeared after the official name was approved. I have already mentioned one of them - Language iNDEX.

Well, the second one says that if you take the first letter “I” and “I” in the word index, then you will get the pronoun “I” - hence YANDEX. The version is beautiful, but somewhat different from what happened in reality.

What is Yandex and what does it represent today?

As I already mentioned, at the dawn of its formation, this online service was exclusively a search engine. He still is, and his share of the RuNet market is very significant and amounts to more than sixty percent.

But time passed and everything changed. With each new year of its existence, Yandex acquired more and more new services and opportunities. Some of them have reached our time unchanged, some have changed, merged or even closed, such as.

Now, if you are looking for a product, you probably turn to to find the store that is optimal in terms of price and reviews. If you are going somewhere, then go to the one that displays the road conditions (traffic jams).

For many, this online service has become the portal from which they start surfing the Internet every day. This is especially convenient because, like the desktop in Windows, it has the ability to add widgets, customize the appearance through the use of themes, and all other services of this mega-portal are available from it.

So what is Yandex? You can’t answer in one word. Let me list all the services collected under his wing, which I had the opportunity to write about in detail. It will probably be much simpler and more visual.

— unlike Google, the RuNet mirror initially decided to use its main (start) page for the convenience of users.
Well, by analogy with, a Passport was introduced, which is valid throughout the entire territory of all the possessions of this search engine.
- the place where all site owners add their resources to monitor their indexing and visibility in this search engine.
- probably the second most popular payment system in RuNet. Although, if we take into account, it turns out that it is the third.
— here you can order advertising of your products or services on search pages (advertising is displayed at the top or bottom of the search results).
is a very popular service among Russians, because it provides information about traffic jams, allows you to plot routes and create your own (folk) maps.
— this is the flip side of Direct. The fact is that Yandex has a well-functioning system for working with contextual advertising, so why should it limit itself only to its own search results (search results page)?
In general, if you have your own website with daily traffic greater than or equal to 300 unique visitors per day, then register with Profit Partner (the official service center for YAN partners) and earn money, receive prizes and affiliate rewards. Without any nonsense, this is .
- a system that differs from a similar Google tool (Analistics) in that it has an intuitive and elegant interface, and is also easy to learn.
— in the Runet market it successfully competes with, and also attracts some users from Jimail.
In terms of functionality, the new incarnation of Yandex Mail is not much inferior to the latter, and in some aspects it is even superior. For example, there is a free opportunity to obtain, which in Google now costs a small penny ().
- file storage, which is designed to become a real alternative to Dropbox (read about that) or.
- a new service offering users a fresh selection of materials on topics of interest to them. The selection is generated automatically based on the preferences of each individual user. Read more about the service at the link provided.
- the search engine of any SMS on which your site will work will always be worse than this tool. Therefore, do not install it, or its equivalent from Google.
- these are not services, but important tools with which the company evaluates the static weight of all indexed documents, and ordinary users can estimate at what price it is worth selling or buying links from certain sites (read about, eternal links or)
— deceased in God (or rather in Yukoz) free designer of popular sites. Previously, it was possible to create free websites or store and transfer files (the latter function was taken over by the Disk described just above)
is a fairly popular add-on for browsers, which, however, is much more necessary for the search engine itself than for users (setting a default search, home page, collecting user preferences, etc.).
Yes, all this is not implemented as aggressively as in , but there is something in common.
— previously there was a similar thing in Opera (express panel), but thanks to our hero, now these bookmarks can be used in any browser (installed).
- made on the same engine as Google Chrome, but has a number of individual features that competitors do not have.
— a set of buttons for adding announcements of articles on the site to popular social networks. The statistics of this block can be tracked in Metrica.
- this is not a service or a tool, but simply a statement that this search engine is not yet capable of real-time and updates search results discretely at certain unequal time intervals, which are usually called up.
- can search not only by words or phrases entered into the search bar, but also by searching, which you download from your computer or specify its location on the Internet.
- an online service similar to .
- well, of course, this is still far from Google translate, but it also gives a very good translation, albeit into a much smaller number of languages.
— will help you measure the speed of the Internet channel you are using.
— the service is very convenient and quite claims to be the best in RuNet.
- the most popular directory of sites in the entire RuNet, but, unfortunately, not everyone manages to get there even on a paid basis.
- the first assistant to those who have already mastered them, because it allows them to collect them and then write articles about them.
- a very specific thing that cannot be explained in a nutshell, but you can read the article given at the link.
