"Now, we have incorporated far better morphology, which is
very important in (the) Russian language," Brin said referring
to a search technique which examines word construction.
Local Internet company and search engine Yandex receives
about twice as many searches a day, Brin told Russian business
newspaper Vedomosti during his first visit to Moscow in 4-1/2
years. "We think our search is better but it (Yandex) also has
many talented people."
In February Yandex said it planned to float shares on
Nasdaq later this year, an IPO which analysts estimated could
value the company at around $3 billion.
Russia is an increasingly important market for Internet
search engines which generate an estimated $40 billion a year
from advertising worldwide. Internet user numbers are booming
in Russia, which has a population of 142 million.
