Internet, December 16, 2009. Yandex search users can now find local businesses or organizations in a particular area of the city or around a certain metro station. People in Moscow can see right in the search results where the watch repair shop at Taganskaya metro station [ремонт часов на таганской] is, and coffee drinkers in Ekaterinburg can find out if they can have their coffee at a coffee shop on Uralskaya Street[кафе на уральской].
Web users can search business locations both by trade and by name. So, visitors in Saint Petersburg can easily find a Coffee House outlet on Nevsky [кофе хауз на невском], and Moskovites can get a handle on the whereabouts of Auchan supermarket in Yasenevo [ашан в ясенево]. In addition, Yandex search can locate businesses across the whole city. Before setting off on a trip to, say, Omsk, tourists can see where they can find a bowling venue [боулинг в омске] in this city. Or, those going to Kiev might be interested to know where exactly all Kiev’s museums [музеи киева] are, or visitors in Vladimir might need to find hotels [гостиницы во владимире] in this city.
Business location search is available both, online at yandex.ru and on mobile handsets at m.ya.ru. The mobile version comes especially useful for travelers with only their mobile device on hand.
Business locator feature on Yandex search is available in more than 100 cities in Russia, as well as in Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine. Yandex search has a daily audience of more than eight million.
