At the beginning of mastering the “Internet science”, it is very difficult for a novice user. Still, there are so many new things ... As a rule, a beginner uses an Internet browser integrated into the operating system Internet Explorer. It is from this moment that the difficulties begin. However, if you make "Yandex" the default search engine in the browser, misunderstandings and user difficulties will practically disappear as such. Let's see why.

Almighty Search Engine

The Internet is a treasure trove of information and inexhaustible. Nevertheless, in view of the scale of the “global project” and the complexity of its organization, you have to learn to find exactly what you need. After all, the world operates with incredibly large resources of information. We should not dismiss the fact that many search engines deliberately lead the user down the wrong path, since the algorithm of their program is designed primarily to satisfy own needs, i.e. traffic absorption.

Based on these conclusions, it is necessary to make "Yandex" the default search engine. Since today it is the most effective guide to the digital “empire” of Runet data and beyond. It is Yandex that will become your reliable companion in the search process, a friend at the time of entertainment, a teacher during training and a mentor in business.

An algorithm that thinks our way

Agree, because it is easier for you to communicate with people who are close to you in terms of lifestyle, and traditions, culture and common history become a kind of element of trust. You easily establish contact with like-minded people and understand the difficulties of others without unnecessary hints. Of course, experience and worldly wisdom have no nationality. However, it is nice to see the weather report for the area outside the window on the screen of your monitor and to perceive the news text from the RSS feed without any extra effort. Caring "Yandex" is a far-sighted search engine, and you will be convinced of this more than once.

Yandex - there is everything!

In order to become such a sought-after resource, the developers had to spend far more than one year or even ten years. The fact is that Yandex has not only an incredibly huge database, but also an excellent response speed and high relevance of the answer, that is, the competence of the system allows you to answer the question posed by the user with special authority. Note that for any request you will receive a quality response. However, this is not the only reason to make Yandex the default search engine.

Get to know each other better...

The first thing you should pay attention to when opening main page"Yandex" is the speed of loading. Nothing superfluous, everything is simple and extremely clear. But the layout of design elements, unobtrusive richness of graphics and comprehensive functionality in the form of various tabs allow you to feel a certain comfort and practical thoughtfulness of the page.

First of all, it draws attention search string, whose advanced settings will help you narrow down the criteria for selecting information. Catalog sections in the form of headers, located above the main checkbox, are designed to help the user quickly navigate to thematic pages for further work with them. Making "Yandex" the default search engine means that always with the computer turned on, you can receive information about the weather in your area, information about traffic jams in your city, latest news, exchange rates, TV schedules and a lot of other sometimes just necessary information. By the way, your mail is also always ready for reading, you just need to go to the server from this page.

Search - how much is in this word ...

"Yandex" can offer several search options:

• Normal - Standard (default).
• Advanced - the user makes certain settings for the search criteria.
• Economical - nothing more, just a checkbox for requests.
• Special - for people with low vision (increased font).
• Zen search - for those who do not know why he even got here.
• Optimistic - a white screen, and then ... how will it turn out!
• Pessimistic - the opposite of the previous search option.

In order to “enjoy” all this, of course, no one will oblige you to install Yandex as the default search, it all depends primarily on you. But why resist rationality?

Money Finder

Perhaps the title is too ambitious, nevertheless it is not devoid of veracity of sound. After all, Yandex.Money is a kind of Internet currency. By opening and replenishing your own wallet, you can make purchases, pay for services or simply accumulate virtual funds, which, at your request, can turn into real banknotes at any time. Again, not for the sake of bluster: have you heard of Google dollars?

Do you want a personal "Yandex"?

Probably, not every user has a properly organized storage of personal data. That is, the files are located in specifically structured folders, the properties of which contain short description and keywords. Perhaps you have repeatedly encountered some inconvenience expressed by a protracted search for the necessary information “in the depths” of your own computer? But your PC is far from the Internet. However, in such a situation, it will help you special program"Personal search". Of course, this product can be downloaded absolutely free.

If you are a student or student

"Yandex" by default is a predetermined success in solving school assignments. Moreover, the qualitative selection of information helps to find the most valuable material for writing term papers and theses university entrants educational institutions. Using a huge bank of abstracts, you will be able to navigate difficult questions: how to draw up a plan of the abstract correctly, what needs to be taken into account when completing one or another type of educational task, etc.

In order to do this, just enter the appropriate resource directory and select the sample you like. Well, if you want to make an extravagant surprise, design a booklet with wishes yourself. The Yandex.Paints service will help you with this. If you want to declare your photogenicity, feel free to place your portfolio in the “Photos” section. It should be noted that this is only a small part options entertainment. but complete list those opportunities that will help unwind, will allow you to decide on the choice of the desired method and organize your own leisure.

Summing up

There is no doubt about the obvious superiority of the Yandex resource. After all, the scale of the project is a consequence of user demand. Of course, some facts of obsession are visible in the company's policy. But is it really so "aggressive" software? First of all, many factors of "dissatisfaction" are the inattention of the users themselves, who often skip the text of the agreement or do not remove tabs from additional mods. However, this is the material of a separate review. Runet users - Yandex!

Yandex is one of the most popular brands in Russia. This company offers users of the CIS countries a lot of services adapted to local realities, including navigation tools, a search service, a music streaming service and many other services. For quick access and management of them, the Yandex team created separate applications for each of them. If you are among the fans of this company, then you should definitely take a look at the "Yandex" panel, which will not be difficult to install. Next, we will take a closer look at what extensions Yandex offers us today.

"Yandex. Elements"

Express panel "Yandex" and "Yandex. Elements" is a set of applications that allows you to organize a comfortable work with all the company's services in the environment of any modern browser.

All extensions are tracing paper from add-ons built into Yandex Browser. In fact, the Yandex panel and elements are a set for transforming Chrome and Firefox into Yandex Browser. Considering the fact that Yandex is a company, like Google, earning on services and advertising, this is exactly what they need.

Installation

In order to start working with these tools, just visit the official Yandex. Elements". The site has links for all available services, there is also a “Yandex-panel”, which can be installed by downloading the appropriate extension for your browser. On the this moment all supported modern browsers, these include Firefox, Opera and Chrome (including browsers based on it). Edge was not included in this list, since at the current stage of its development it does not support extensions at all.

Bookmarks bar "Yandex"

The first thing that will meet the user after installing the extension is a modified start page. It contains frequently visited or pinned by the user sites, information about the weather and exchange rates. Also at the bottom are links to access recently closed tabs, the download bar, bookmarks, and browser history. The most important part of this page is the smart search bar, which can provide an answer to a query even before going to the search page. In practice, this means that if you are looking for the weather in a certain city, you will see the result right in the search bar, the same applies to the exchange rate and mathematical calculations (in fact, we have a calculator and converter built into the search). Or if you are looking for some famous person, place, movie, then a smart search box will immediately redirect you to a Wikipedia page or answer a simple question on its own (for example, the question of how long to cook dumplings).

The panel is a customizable page (the “Settings” button in the lower right corner), the user has the right to choose how many sites will be displayed on the page (up to 25 pieces), you can add your sites to the Yandex panel, you can change the background (images from the collection are offered, but you can upload your own. Also in the settings you can allow or deny access to geolocation data and disable the search bar.

Separately, it is worth talking about the Yandex express panel in Opera browser. Its functionality and appearance are different from those in Chrome and Firefox. The fact is that some versions of this browser already have a built-in bookmarks bar. Yandex proposes to expand its capabilities by adding interactive pages with services. For example, the weather or information about traffic jams will be displayed right on the start page, the user will not even have to visit the relevant pages, and quick links to the main, popular Yandex services will also appear. In new versions of the browser (built on Chromium), the panel works the same way as in Chrome.

Additional elements

The Yandex panel, in addition to the changes to the start page described above, offers much more. This is a whole set of tools for working with company services. This is a kind of "Yandex", organizing fast access to mail, disk, music player, weather and traffic data, and other services. You must have an account to use them.

"Yandex Mail"

After you install the Yandex panel, in addition to the usual ones, a mail icon will appear in the top line of your browser, after clicking on which a window with the latest received letters will open in front of you. Unfortunately, you will not be able to work with mail in this way, you can only find out the sender, subject and view a small preview of the contents of the letter. To read the letter and send a response, you will have to go to the service website.

"Yandex.Disk"

"Yandex.Weather"

Despite the fact that the weather widget is on the Yandex express panel, it can also be added to the taskbar, where you can see a more detailed forecast for the whole day, and not just the current temperature outside the window. In order to see the weather forecast for the next ten days, you will have to go to the service website.

"Yandex.Music"

Instant access to free player"Yandex.Music". This widget allows you to play, stop and switch tracks without visiting the service page. For the widget to work, you need a functioning Yandex.Music account with a full library.

Translations

This one is small but useful tool will become a real lifesaver for those who are on you with English and others foreign languages. Unlike the widgets described above, which take up space in this element, it is integrated into context menu, called by pressing the right mouse button, and allows you to translate the selected text without unnecessary gestures.

This extension will help those who love online shopping. When you view certain products in RuNet, if there are any in the Yandex.Market service, the adviser will find the most advantageous offers with the opportunity to purchase in your region.

Security

Closes the line of extensions is a tool for ensuring network security. This widget is equipped with a database of websites checked for viruses, scammers and phishing (theft of logins and passwords). As soon as you try to follow a dangerous link, the extension will notify you and will not allow you to do so. Moreover, every website in search results will be evaluated by this tool and will receive one of three labels:

• green (safe);
• yellow (low risk);
• red (unsafe).

In fact, the solution is not new, Yandex has nothing to do with it, it is just a slightly modified Web of Trust package, distributed in Russia by the company.

conclusions

If you are a fan of Yandex services or just want to get quick access to some functions, then the Yandex panel with a set of extensions will be an excellent solution that will save you time and allow you to comfortably continue working on the network without being distracted by all sorts of little things like switching tracks or viewing the weather for the day. In addition, the addition can increase the safety of surfing and help with work on foreign resources. In general, the Yandex panel is the easiest and most functional way to give your browser new features.

Search. The first button allows you to select the main search engine for the Yandex browser, it can be "Yandex", "Google", "Mail.ru" or "Wikipedia" (or others, different search engines are given in different browsers). The first three are standard general search engines, but Wikipedia is a reference search engine, not looking for sites, but for information and description. That is, by entering into the "smart line" not the site address, but what you want to find, the search will be performed in the selected search engine. Let's say, having selected Wikipedia, there will be a search on Wikipedia.

Second button- setting up search engines. Here you can set the selection value if you use different search engines. That is, if you have set the main search engine - Yandex, but you need to search on Google, then you do not need to open Google page. It is enough to set the value of the search engine, well, let it be “g” (for brevity) and after that, if you enter “g” in the smart line and put a space, then the search will automatically be conducted in the Google search engine (but if there is no space after the letter “g” , then the search is conducted in the default search engine).

To set the value of the search engine, click on the "search engine settings" button, after which, select the desired search engine. In the left section is the name of the search engine, that is, for your perception, you can change it at your discretion, as long as it is convenient and understandable. The second section of the line is the value of the search engine, what was described above. If you select the search engine Google, and set the value to "google", then entering the word "google" in the smart line, and then a space, the search will automatically be performed in Google search. But if you enter "google", then the search will not occur in Google system(if it is not set by default).

The third section contains the address where the search request is sent, it is better not to change anything there. Next to the address is the "Use by default" button, that is, set the search engine through which the smart line will be searched (the same as the first button in this section). On the right is a cross for deleting a search engine if you never intend to use it. After the changes, you must click the "done" button, otherwise the changes will not be saved.

To add another search engine (a list of popular search engines is available on this site under "search engines"), you can go to the page of the search engine, such as youtube.com and right-click in the query field. In the menu that appears, select "Add as search engine ...".

In the window that appears, change or leave the name "youtube.com", keyword must be changed so that a green checkmark icon appears on the right. I changed it to "YouTube", you can enter both Russian and Latin letters and numbers. You cannot change anything in the "link" field! And press the "ok" button.

Now the search engine has been added to your search engines, this can be seen in the settings - the "search engine settings" button.

The added search engine can also be set by default by hovering the mouse cursor over the required system and clicking the "use default" button on the right. After adding a new search engine, you can immediately check its work, the principle is the same - enter a keyword in the smart line, in my case “YouTube”,

How to use Yandex.String

Consider one of interesting features Yandex.Lines, namely the ability to give orders by voice. However, you need to know the following utility features:

• Voice orders are understood by the software only if they were given using the Russian language.
• Say one of the following phrases to activate the software: "Hi, Yandex", "OK, Yandex" or "Listen, Yandex". If the program is running, you will hear a beep.
• If you pronounce any phrase other than those listed below, the utility will consider that you are sending a search request in Yandex. But, if you say “Restart your computer”, “Open a website” (for example, “open YouTube”), “Go to sleep”, “Open file” (for example, “open powerpoint”) or “Turn off your computer”, the software will understand command and execute it immediately.
