Japanese search engines: how to find the information you need

Japanese search engines may be required not only by the site optimizer, but also by an ordinary user who studies the language of the Land of the Rising Sun or simply looking for any information outside the RuNet.

Problems of Russian-language search engines

For the most part, search engines often do not work as they would like: they fix queries, come up with them and offer not at all what was needed. This is especially true of information on foreign sources, which is absent in the Russian and English-speaking segment of the Internet. Worst of all, the case is with the search for official sites of Japanese companies, whose names are written in Latin.

How to find the required one?

There are several options:

1. Japanese "Google" (search engine). The link to it can be found on the network on the appropriate request, while it is recommended to change the language in the settings for the output of results. However, in most cases after switching to this version of "Google" itself offers the necessary parameters.
2. In addition, it is not superfluous to add Japanese as a priority when using the Google Chrome browser. To do this, go to Settings> Advanced settings> Configure languages and input methods.
3. For greater efficiency, queries should be written in Japanese, and in other cases, it is necessary to add at least one letter from the alphabet.
4. You can only use Japanese search engines located on the network (like Yahoo), then the probability of issuing irrelevant results is significantly reduced.
5. To find everyday information it is recommended to go to blogs or to appropriate platforms, replenished directly by residents of the Land of the Rising Sun.

In general, through any search engine there are pictures, as well as text news, videos and even music. But if the user is interested in the fan art or the artists drawing them, it is desirable to execute queries directly on Japanese sites to display similar works (for example, on "Pixie").

Japanese search engines in Russian

No matter how absurd this may sound, some users are really trying to find something for this request. In fact, such search engines do not exist, because they are Japanese, in order to search for information outside the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet.

Among the indigenous population of the Land of the Rising Sun, a very small percentage of Russians speak at least at the initial level. The same people who move to Japan, rarely need to search for anything in their native language, because their task is to fully integrate into a new society. But even if such a need appears, they just need to change the language in the settings or go to the Russian version of the search engine.

What not to expect from the Japanese segment of the network

First, Japanese search engines are not designed to search for pirated content. Rather, in the Land of the Rising Sun, such a concept is not common, as well as torrents. Therefore, if some paid content was not found in the runet free for download, it is useless to look for it in the Japanese network.

Secondly, the materials banned in Russia can not be looked at either, and the tougher legislation is not in favor of this option. But, most likely, the content will be blocked by the provider, if the user does not use any kind of tricks. Is that unlike the Russian, the Japanese search engine these materials still find and display a list of sites on the page, but it will hardly come to them.

And thirdly, in order to look for something in this segment of the Internet, it is desirable to know the language of the Land of the Rising Sun at a decent level. No interpreter can help accurately reproduce a complex phrase, and given the huge number of meanings of the same word, you can not find what the user wanted. If you want, of course, it's worth trying to enter the query in English, but even so it will not find everything.

Thus, Japanese search engines are only suitable for finding certain information. With their help, you can order something from a site that is irrelevant for the Russian segment, see a few more famous television shows and other funny video content. And of course, read the news from the sources, learn about the history of the country or simply posters sites in order to satisfy interest.
