It is practically impossible to search in Russian; the results are simply awful. What's more, you cannot select Russian as the search language.

Comments and Reviews
Unique and original Wikipedia infobox integration, good search results, kinda modern interface, a LOT of themes and also a lot of "Optics", which are like search scopes, for academic websites, to remove copycat websites, to only show websites not on the 10k most famous, and much more. Definitely a hidden gem, and I recommend it.
