Why does the Yandex browser search through email? Why is Yandex switching to mail? Why does it transfer from Google to Yandex?
IN in this case the user means that when he opens the Yandex Internet browser, it’s not him, but the email search pops up and probably extraneous advertising - so you need to remove all this from all places - autoload, make Yandex the start page, the main browser - also Yandex and so on. All this is in the browser settings and Control Panel.
Personally, I have exactly the same situation - the start page of the Google Chrome browser is the Mail.ru page, and I regularly receive proposals to make the Yandex website the start page. True, in the case of Mail.ru, this is not as simple as it might seem - here are detailed explanations and a way to solve the problem:
(Source).
And this is some kind of bug for you (from Mail.ru, of course) that either the start page or the default search (it’s not clear from your question, unfortunately) replaces it.
Go to the Control Panel, to Programs, find everything there that has Mail.ru in its name, and delete it.
Most likely, it makes Mail the start page, for example, in my Google Chrome browser I always need to switch to Yandex, but it doesn’t open right away. You can look in your browser settings and change one start page to another, and also, just in case, scan your computer for viruses and malware, because sometimes it happens that an ordinary Trojan changes programs. You also need to look at what extensions, applications, plugins and modules are installed on your computer.
You can fix the problem by clicking on the 3 lines at the top right and going to Settings.
Yandex itself won’t switch to anything, but it doesn’t get to the point. Mail.ru willingly occupies start and home pages. Change them back to Yandex. Mail will be in prolt. In the control panel and in the search in the C drive, look for files with Mail in the names and delete them, this will not break the system, but will clear the computer of Maila.
As I understand it, this is about the start page...
Those. You have a Yandex browser, and it regularly switches to the mail.ru start page.
In the browser settings you need to change the start page and that's it... you can also do this by going to the Yandex start page and setting it as the default start page.
Everything can be changed in the browser settings. Choose whichever search engine is convenient for you or you like and install the starting one. You can select and install in the settings so that you immediately go to the page you need. Apparently, now you have a specified mail page in your settings, so set open at startup - new tab . To enter the browser settings, in the top right we find the icon - three horizontal lines, open it and follow the recommendations described above.
Most likely it's something to do with computer virus. Therefore, first check your PC with an antivirus. You can also change your browser settings and change the search system to the one you need, or change the start page. This could also happen if you downloaded the Amigo browser. Then simply remove it from the Programs and Settings menu.
Did you download anything by chance? This happened to me a few days ago. I went to the site to look for information and accidentally clicked on the download button. I simply didn’t recognize my computer. Mail and all the programs accompanying it immediately appeared. It was absolutely impossible to work. We cleaned the computer twice of all files and programs that came with the file, but in the end we had to change Windows. No matter what we remove, it still appears every other day. I had to contact the youth and they fixed the problem. But I had a clear reason for the problem.
But for you everything may be simpler - the start page on Yandex is not installed.
P.S: Although everything can be much simpler - open the extensions and look there. Delete anything related to Mail.
Taking advantage of the inattention of computer owners, the email giant Mail very often installs its applications without their knowledge, replacing browser start pages and search pages, which is very annoying and alarming for a user who is accustomed to “their settings.” And then the owner faces the question: “How to delete the mail.ru search”?
The devil is not so scary!
To begin with, regardless of the browser you have installed, we will use the services of the “Add or Remove Programs” control panel utility. In the window that opens, without regret, delete [email protected], Mail.ru Sputnik and similar illegally installed programs. If you don't do this first, next steps will not bring the desired result.
Training on the Mozilla Firefox browser
Our uninvited guest is most deeply “registered” in the browser Mozilla Firefox. Using his example, we will see how you can delete the mail.ru search.
In the search bar drop-down list, select your usual search engine, for example, Yandex.
It will be used in the future by default.
Next, to permanently delete the mail ru search, type about:config in the address bar. We promise that we will be careful when changing settings, and we will get into the storage of all browser settings. Don't be intimidated by their abundance! We will find all the information we need using the search bar, where we will enter “mail.ru”. Manually, on each line found, change the state to “Reset”.
We go back to the browser settings, search for “keyword.URL” and reset it too. By default, the search string you selected earlier is set.
How to remove the mail.ru line from other browsers?
IN Chrome browsers and Opera, actions to delete mail.ru search are limited only to the fact that in the settings you need to change the default search to any other.
Yes, do not forget to change the start page of your browser. And nothing will remind you of the hidden enemy invasion!
If a go.mail.ru link appears on the start page of your browser (search for the Mail.ru company), do not worry. Most likely, this is not the work of some cunning virus, but only the result of your rash or erroneous actions. In 95 cases out of 100, the URL is automatically “registered” after installation software Mail.ru or third party products, simultaneously adding a search engine to web browsers.
However, it is still better to delete go.mail.ru (link on the start page) and accidentally installed service software (Sputnik, Guard, Visual bookmarks etc.). Why clutter your browsers and system? And then, it makes sense to return the previous comfort of web surfing (for example, if it’s convenient for you to search necessary information V Google search engine, and not in Mail.ru).

successful Windows settings and browsers! Don't forget to read the software installers instructions.
The topic of the instructions you started reading will be fixing redirects from Google pages on Mail.ru. By the way, by subscribing to our You tube channel You can not only read this manual, but also watch a video of how I did it. So be sure to join, you won't regret it.
So, let's return to our topic. I am sure that those who use a computer and the Internet know very well what Mail.ru is, probably even those who were not particularly interested in it. For a very long time, in different ways, the Mail.ru developers, using hidden installations through some applications, have been trying to force us to work with their products.
For example, they change the default search, install various extensions, or install the Amigo browser. But, in principle, everyone got used to it and treated it normally. But, recently I came across something new.
In general, the default search in the browser was set to Google. That is, we enter a request into the address bar and receive a response from Google, everything seems to be fine. But, if you open the page itself at Google.com, the fun begins. Not only did advertising immediately appear when you opened the search engine, in a new window or in full screen, but when you tried to search, instead of Google results, the page go.mail.ru appeared, with the request that was specified earlier.
That is, when trying to specify something in the search bar, a redirection occurred to go.mail.ru, and so on in absolutely every browser. In general, there is no limit to Mail.ru’s impudence; this is some kind of direct disrespect for the user’s choice.
Of course, I immediately set about fixing and deleting the go.mail.ru search, which was displayed instead of the Google page. And I want to share with you how I did it, maybe this solution will help you get rid of the obsessive search for mail.ru.
First steps to eliminating redirects from Google to go.mail.ru
Delete everything necessary programs from the “Control Panel”, such as Amigo, Login to the Internet, Mail.ru Update, etc. Again, I emphasize that the implementation of these points is recommended for those users who do not work with mail.ru applications and do not need them.
Also clear the user folder, namely in C:\Users(Users)\Username\AppData\local, there is a Mail.ru folder that needs to be deleted. By the way, don’t forget, otherwise you won’t find “local”.
If after this the redirection from Google to go.mail.ru remains, then those located in the same “local” folder are “TEMP”.
So, having launched the utility, click on the “Scan” button.
It will take a few seconds to check and detect threats, such as redirecting from Google to mail.ru.
Upon completion, you will see a list of infected files and registry keys; you can also open a more detailed report by clicking on the corresponding button.
Well, in order to remove the search for go.mail.ru instead of google, click on the “Clear” button.
Again, wait a few seconds and, at the request of the utility, restart the computer to complete the removal of infected files.
Is Mail.ru displayed instead of Google? Remove your browser...
And finally, the surest option, which almost always helps to get rid of such dirty tricks, is complete removal your Internet browser while deleting all user folders.
Before this process begins, you will be faced with the question of whether to delete user folders or not? We tick the box that we need to get rid of all user data and continue.
It’s just that if you don’t do this and continue deleting, then after new installation these files will be moved back, and accordingly the infected objects that were sent to Mail.ru instead of Google during the search will also follow them and you will have to start all over again.
Just like that, I coped with the redirection to Mail.ru. By the way, perhaps you have some other options for solving this problem, if so, then leave them in the comments, send them to me by email or
Today, if you can Google, then you are a smart guy on the Internet. And if you don’t know how, then you’re stupid. Because those who know how to Google copy-paste information from the search results into all sorts of cozy blogs or these VKontakte pages of yours, and thus can present themselves in the world as smart. Labor made a man out of a monkey, and today monkeys become people by learning to Google.
What search engines are there?
First, what types of search engines are there? The two most prominent representatives here are Yandex and Google.
Yandex is the most popular search engine in Russia. Official LiveInternet statistics state: the number of users is 50.9% (data as of June 2015). Google accounted for 40.6%. I search for commercial queries in Yandex (when I want to buy something), and I believe that for such queries the results in Yandex are much better than in Google.
Google is the most popular search engine in the world. Almost a monopolist. Only in Russia does it give way to Yandex. Google became available on RuNet only in 2004. In general, Google provides better quality answers to information requests than Yandex. But I still first search in a domestic search engine, and if I can’t find the answer, then I go to Google, fortunately in Yandex there is a button at the end of the top to go to other search engines.
Google is a search engine that works very quickly. At one time, this search engine gained popularity thanks to its unique search algorithms, which made it possible to provide much better answers than those of its competitors. But they have not stopped developing, and are constantly improving. Today Google means:
- Well-thought-out algorithms that have been tested in many languages of the world and are constantly being improved;
- The interface is “nothing superfluous”, everything is designed not to interfere with the search;
- Performance.
What can Yandex do against Google? After all, the American giant is confidently moving towards becoming a monopolist?
All the same, regional features are regional features. Especially when the conversation is about commodity circulation. I'm not a patriot, but I believe in Yandex, and I think that they have really high-quality products, including search. Google specialists will never be as well versed in the Russian language as Yandex specialists who devote a lot of time to this. Google will never have so many local assessors and never will it monitor their quality so much. Yandex, like a lion, fights for Russian market, and will fight to the last drop of blood.
What is "google"
“Google” is to look for information in a search engine. Google system. Thus, the use of the giant search engine has already become a household name.
Lifehacks for Google Search
How to Google correctly:
By the way, these tips apply not only to Google, but also to most other search engines.
The most useful thing is the minus sign — . Do you want to find information about the football player Adriano, but all the search results are filled with the musician Celentano, who turned out to be greater? Enter your request Adriano Celentano. Then the search will exclude from the search all pages that contain the word “Celentano”.
The plus sign is also important + . If you want to emphasize that a certain word is especially important to you, put a plus sign in front of it and see how the results change. The search engine will return those pages that exactly contain the word preceded by a plus.
Star * used (only with quotation marks) if you have forgotten some word from the phrase. For example, if you enter the query "how to * codeigniter to the server", then the search engine will give you results on how to connect codeigniter to the server.
The operator allows you to find out the meaning of a word.
Using an operator site: we can only search one site.
The operator can be quite useful, because it allows you to search for files of a specific format. Let's say if you need a book in .pdf format, that's how we type it.
Valid for formats Adobe Reader PDF (.pdf), Adobe Postscript (.ps), Autodesk DWF (.dwf), Google Earth(.kml, .kmz), Microsoft Excel(.xls), Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt), Microsoft Word(.doc), Rich Text Format (.rtf), Shockwave Flash(.swf).
If you need to search for text from a specific part of an html page, you can use inurl:(and Google will give you only those pages where the word is in the URL), (only those that contain the word in the title), intext:(in text), and inanchor:(in the text of the links).
The operator allows you to search for similar sites.
When searching for images, if you only need to find faces, you should add the parameter to the end of the URL &imgtype=face.
# is an icon for searching information by the hash tag of interest.
Symbol @ defines all records associated with a specific name.
I think the remaining features (like the tilde or separator) have become outdated as the search has improved.
Vertical search
There is also something like Yandex Market - Google purchases, but they do not actively promote them and this is not a very well-known type of search.
Yandex
Yandex, in my opinion, is very good for searching for goods or services. And many entrepreneurs note that more clients come from Yandex. Let's try to get the most out of using this search engine.
Life hacks for searching in Yandex
The differences are as follows.
First, to search for specific documents based on their parameter, use the operator mime:.
Secondly, Yandex.ru allows you to search for sites only in a certain language. For this purpose the operator is used lang: indicating the language. For example, Russian – ru, Ukrainian – uk, English – en.
Another interesting feature is searching for people through Yandex:
Yandex settings
In Yandex you can customize:
- interface language;
- region;
- home page;
- search settings.
You can always return to the default settings. Click the “Settings” button here:
Clicking the “Other Settings” button will open advanced options.
My page
And if you go to the main page and go to Settings - Configure Yandex, then here we can configure the main one. Yandex calls this “my page”.
Each user can configure mail, music service linked to their account. If you wish, you can change the theme by selecting a special widget. In this case, binding to a specific browser works. In another browser, you can install a different theme in Yandex.
How to remove search from Yandex
Yandex search can also be deleted. To remove Yandex, use the browser settings:
- Google Chrome : icon of three horizontal stripes – Tools – Extensions – Remove or disable unnecessary add-ons.
- Mozilla Firefox: red button with the name of the browser written on it – Add-ons – Remove or Turn Off.
- Internet Explorer: Tools – Settings – Search services – Delete.
Here's how to remove Yandex search.
How to exit from Yandex to Google
Although Google and Yandex are competitors, our search engine generously offers at the end of its search results to go to Google or another search engine if you haven’t found what you need.
And this, I must say, is the second main reason, after commercial search, why I mainly use Yandex.
How to find a saved copy of a page in Yandex
This is usually done like this: enter the URL of the page with the url: operator into the search, and then click the green arrow next to it and look at the saved copy.
This is useful if you did not find the necessary information on the page, although it was in the Yandex results. In this case, there is a chance that it remained in the saved copy.
Mail.ru
In fact, quite a lot of older people, according to my observations, use mail.ru search. But, to be honest, Mail's search is of lower quality than Yandex or Google. They, of course, are trying to improve somehow, many results are manually moderated, but overall I think there is no point in using this search engine.
Rambler
Rambler has not had its own search technology for a long time. His search is Yandex with slightly modified results. There is no point in using it, except “by inertia”.
Rest
Other search engines:
- Bing, formerly MSN Search, Windows Live Search.
- Yahoo is no longer an independent search engine; it uses the engine from Bing. Previously, it was a real competition to Google, but that is already in the past.
- Nygma. The main difference is the solution of problems in chemistry and mathematics, special search for music, books, games and torrent.
These are all pretty weak and backward search engines.
Why does it transfer from Google to Yandex?
It happens that it transfers from Google to Yandex. This problem is sometimes solved by removing Yandex Browser or browser add-ons from a domestic company.
