    Just a few minutes ago, a Yandex press release was published with the news that the Russian search engine learned to search in real time. The new technology allows you to find almost very fresh documents and pages - a couple of minutes, and Yandex has already indexed everything. Why is this company? The fact is that from 2% to 8% of user searches are devoted to events that have just occurred. It is clear that everyone wants to find completely “fresh” news, as much information as possible about it.

    So, in order for users to find the news they are looking for, Yandex has learned to do two things: the first is to separate news events from the general stream, and the second is to search in real time by creating a new search robot, Orange. He indexes the latest information in just a few seconds, uploading them to search engines.

    Interestingly, Orange is able to determine how often sites are updated, and localizes news resources that are updated all the time.

    Among other things, Yandex has created detectors (software, of course) that allow you to determine how relevant this or that information is among users. “There is more and more real-time information on the Internet that people need right now. And we want to give them the opportunity to find her right now. This is only the first step, of course, we will improve the quality of search for news queries and further. The new technology makes it possible to do this relatively easily, ”says Fedor Romanenko, Search Quality Manager.
