For comparison queries sense answers and documents search model based on neural networks.

Schedule of the frequency distribution of requests in Yandex are often in the form of a bird that has a beak, body and long tail. The list of the most common queries is not particularly large, but they are asked very often - it's "beak" of birds. Request for an average frequency form a "trunk". The low-frequency queries individually are extremely rare, but together constitute a substantial part of the search flow and, therefore, add up to a "long tail".
