I have to use Yandex almost daily, because Google has stopped indexing a massive amount of the Internet.

It's almost more useless than Yahoo was after Google came along, which is crazy.

I use both for reverse image searches. It's crazy how much is missing from either (or both). At least from my use Google's index still seems to be bigger but I imagine that varies depending on what you are looking for.

What kind of stuff do you find missing? Is it strictly regional/firewalled content?

While my main search engine is still Google, I use Yandex more and more. I have no specific example right now but it's not unusual for Y to give me meaningful result when G, with the same search string, give me crap.
