Google Inc dominates Internet searches across the world with a major exception of Russia, a gap which Russian-born co-founder Sergei Brin is keen to fill, he said in a newspaper interview.

“Now, we have incorporated far better morphology, which is very important in (the) Russian language,” Brin said referring to a search technique which examines word construction.

Local Internet company and search engine Yandex receives about twice as many searches a day, Brin told Russian business newspaper Vedomosti during his first visit to Moscow in 4-1/2 years. “We think our search is better but it (Yandex) also has many talented people.”
