Tell HN: Don't Be Afraid of Yandex

There have been two threads in the last days about alternative search engines. I've noticed that whenever someone mentions Yandex, there is some skepticism and some users are "afraid" of using it due to being hosted in Russia.

Well let me tell you, there are some benefits to this: mainly it has a more permissive content policy compared to Google in some cases.

It's important to note that Yandex still complies with local laws and regulations, they are just different there.

I've used to resort to DDG when Google just wont (want to) display what I was looking for. It seems it has been neutered too. Yandex has not.
