Mail.Ru launched a search engine on a separate domain - gogo.ru .
Blogs have long suggested such a course of events, based on the hiring of Mail.ru Mikhail Kostin (the former head of Aport) and the emergence of a new search bot.
The search engine is still quite crude - both in terms of layout, and in terms of relevance and ranking - the results are rather strange. There is no mechanism for “attracting" a bot to your site. The database uses its own, in no way connected with the issuance of a search engine on Mail.ru.
Gogo's interface reminded some of the service developed by Google - SearchMash.

It seems to me that the project was not done by the Mail employees themselves, but with their financial participation. As you know, Mail.Ru is now investing in many start-up projects. Today I will try to find out the details from the first persons.
