What Happened to Turkcell’s Search Engine Yaani?

For a while, different companies, institutions, services, etc. in our country. While it never left the news and newspaper pages, we now see that it has disappeared. Of course, until we realize this situation it’s too late And we find ourselves in a situation we cannot understand. Because it is not uncommon for services in which large-scale investments have been made to disappear in this way.

In this context, we have previously told you how different institutions and services such as Tekel, Panda Dondurma, Aycell, Simtel and many others disappeared. Now our focus is Turkcell’s Yaani We put the search engine named. The service, which was emphasized to be local and national when it was launched, for some reason does not make much noise these days.

Yaani entered our lives in 2017.

Towards the end of 2017 Turkcell General Manager Kaan Terzioğlu“The name of Turkey’s search engine Yaani.” He announced the service by saying. Thereupon, Terzioğlu talked about how keeping data on hand (in the country) and converting this data into services would make Turkey one of the few countries. His statement included the following statements:

“The services we have developed so far are available not only in Turkey but also in the world. by millions is being used. Now, by taking another step with Yaani, one of the services that produces the most data, to the search engine market we are entering. This is Turkey’s search engine, not Turkcell’s. It will grow with the support of all of us.“

“The search engine of the world, while searching; Yaani, he will find it.” Even the place where Yaani, which stands out with its slogan, will store the data was clear.

Terzioğlu stated that they opened Turkey’s largest data center in Gebze and Yaani He stated that his data would be stored here. Moreover, it was not just about being a search engine.

In the same statement, Terzioğlu said; TV+, BiP, Lifebox and Paycell He said that services such as will also be integrated into this search engine. Of course, it would be inevitable that such a big initiative would contribute to the country’s economy.

Although many people were worried about data security, Yaani, which came with big plans, took its place in the Google Play Store and App Store.

As you can see from the image above, the application has its latest update. On November 3, 2022 got it. As you can see, there have been no updates since then.

Additionally, the Data Security title on Yaani’s Google Play Store page does not give much hope. Because the data both are not encrypted and from the application whenever you want you cannot delete your data stated.

In 2017, the producers of Geliyoo made unpleasant statements about Yaani.

In the statement in question, it is stated that Yaani is not an original work.Yandex and Google It was stated that it uses data from search engines such as.

In addition, although the data of the service, which is stated to use Ntent infrastructure, is stored in Turkey, as Terzioğlu mentioned in his statement, it is “sourced from Google”.Turkey’s Search EngineIt was argued that it was wrong to say “. The statement in question included the following words:

“We think that they aim to use government incentives, grants and scientific resources by saying they made a search engine called Yaani. For this purpose, a presentation was made like Apple. But the data used From Yandex and Google!”

Ironically I’m coming Likewise, it started out with the promise of becoming Turkey’s search engine, but was later met with reaction when it was revealed that it received its data from Google.

Turkcell, on the other hand, announced that it did not use any search engines and only received technological support from certain companies.

towards the end of 2022 search engine Yaani, whom we know as, disappeared without explanation. Suddenly, we were no longer able to search on the website, and the page that once allowed us to search began to redirect to Yaani’s mobile application links.

But it would be a mistake to say that he has completely disappeared from our lives. Because Yaani, whose search engine service was terminated, is a website that uses other search engines such as Google and Yandex. internet browser It is still available for download and use.

Making it local and national the main focus is While it is shown as something unique to us We believe that the fact that it extracts data from similar companies and that its functionality is terminated without any explanation are the main factors that remove Yaani from our agenda. Did you use Yaani when it was released?
