Yandex Music has announced a large-scale update of the search engine. Now the system works with the context and adjusts the responses to the user's preferences. So, at Smith's request, rock fans will see the British band The Smith first in the list, and fans of modern pop music will see the artist Sam Smith.
Moreover, the search takes into account what the user has watched before. If the user viewed the artist's page and then started searching for the track name of the same artist, it will come out first in the list. If he switched to the search from the list of podcasts, they will be in the results, not the songs.
Finally, the lyrics available in the service are also taken into account when searching. If you don't know the title, but remember the line from the chorus, you can find a suitable song.
At the same time, we added the option to search by specific categories: artists, tracks, playlists, audiobooks and podcasts.
All these innovations have already appeared in the Yandex Music app for iOS, and they will get to Android a little later.
