Popular Russian Search Engines

I will be interviewing a potential PHP developer this afternoon (see top of the index page) who was born in Russia. During my WebmasterWorld travels, I found a new thread named SE popularity in Russia. The thread creator, Blackie, who claims to have "actual SE use by different people in Russia." The results he posted include:

Yandex - 49,46%
Rambler - 22,27%
Google - 12,38%
Mail.ru - 5,12%
Aport - 2,29%

I'll update this entry later after speaking with the person I am interviewing. Of course, it will be his opinion.

It's almost true but mostly last months Google is more and more popular that those digits but probably is third anyway.

Let's look here:
LAST MONTH:

JULY ONLY (Google is in second position!):
http://gs.spylog.ru/r/?dayFrom=1&monthFrom=7&yearFrom=2005&dayFor=14&monthFor=7&yearFor=2005&visitors=on&x=26&y=24&order=visitors&desc=1&inner=0&reportId=7&categoryId=1&representationType=table

Also I think that mail.ru search is actually
google-driven. (http://go.mail.ru/search) But I can be wrong...

Hi Barry,

LiveInternet is also a very useful source of SE usage figures in Russia:

Google is very much third though here with Yandex leading the way.

All above measure clicks from search angines to sites - numbers for google are higher - Yandex and Rambler are used by Russian people mostly and google images are used all over the world - people not in russia will not read resource in russian. More accurate:
Yandex: 60%
Rambler: 21%
Google: 8%
