It hasn't worked for me for a long time. I keep getting three Russian LJs as results, usually the same three. Yandex used to be the in-house search engine. Now the default is general on-LJ and generally online Google. I've googled "yandex" and used it to search LJ, but the results are laughable. I've just stopped using it and use Google instead--at least it sort of works, unless what you're looking for on LJ is flocked.

They keep improving things. They're not improving things.

...as in "we couldn't find what you're looking for but here are 3 people in the Ukraine that you may be interested in befriending." Ironically it's always worked well for me until the last couple of weeks - I really thought I'd flipped some unknown switch somewhere so good to know I'm in good company. I won't let it drive me crazy any more... I can walk from here, ha!

If you know the name, you can google. "name.livejournal.com" to get there.

It also works better if you are on that very first page with the tops journals etc. Otherwise it just searches your journal.

It seems to just give me google results now annoyingly
