Word: Yandex Part of Speech: verb Etymology: The name initially stood for “Yet Another iNDEXer”. The Russian word я (ja) corresponds to the English personal pronoun “I”, making Яndex a bilingual pun on index. Pronunciation: /ˈjan.dɛks/ 1. To search for (something) on the Internet using the Yandex search engine. Labels: rare, transitive Example: We knew nothing of history—decent odds that three of the four of us couldn’t tell you what year Jesus was born—but we staked our futures by predicting it. We took bets: The war would finish in a year, two, five. Browsing old newspapers and Yandexing court reports, we found sentences to fit each prediction. A year for assaulting an ethnic minority. Two to five for armed robbery. Three to seven for narcotics smuggling. Example: Do they say “Let’s Yandex it” the way U.S. Internet users say, “Let’s Google it?” Probably not — even though Yandex (YNDX) is Russia’s largest search engine, with more than 60% of the market. […] Run a search of “Yandexed” and you come up with about 400 results. Run a search of “Googled” and you get closer to 68 million.
