Ok.
Never was it mentioned that anyone was distinguishing between Google search and Yandex search as opposed to Google and Yandex.
But even then.
Yandex was devised first, was named first and was officially launched first (‘born’ first).
Yandex.ru search engine was announced by CompTek on 23 September 1997 at the Softool exhibition, although some developments in the field of search (Bible indexing, searching for documents on CD-ROM, site search, Classifier of Goods and Services, and the International Classifier of Patents. ) were carried out by the company as early as 1990.

Yandex (with the exception of the domain name registration) precedes Google, in most cases by years.
