Recognized unprofitable domestic search engine "Sputnik" in the summer was on the verge of closure. On his further fate, representatives of Rostelecom, which the search engine belongs to, refused to speak, pointing to the end of the year - then, in the opinion of the leadership, his fate should have been decided. And so, it seems, she decided. The search engine was declined, but instead, another 260 million were allocated for its development.
In the technical task it is said about the need to develop a news aggregator on the basis of "Sputnik", add maps to it and prepare it for correct operation with operating systems from the register of domestic software. In addition, you need to improve the quality of keyword search and "teach" the search engine to analyze the flow of requests. At the moment two new services are being tested - "corporate satellite" and "corporate search". The work should be completed by December 15.
Search engine and browser "Sputnik" were launched by Rostelecom in 2014, but the ambitious project of the "national search engine" failed - by mid-2017 "Sputnik" never became popular. As of December 2017, 330 referrals were made per day from "Sputnik", while from Yandex 63.2 million transitions, and with Google - 50.4 million transitions.
At the beginning of summer, Sputnik was planned to close or reorient, but apparently the project decided to give a second chance, expanding its functionality and optimizing the costs of its maintenance.
