Last few days i've observed a weird thing with search bar. My default search servise is google. Now, however, when i trying to find any information in Russian language, the search bar suggest "Yandex" search from the third position in the suggestions list. On the screenshot i made, i was looking for it for the first time and the YANDEX website appeared in the list for some reason.

P.S. i don't use any Yandex services so there is no occasion to show me them search request.

Type about:addons<enter> in the address bar to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; (<Control> [Mac=<Command>] <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Remove “ Yandex “ Anything.

Also remove SafeSearch, SearchAssist Incognito, FileConverter Addon, SearchLock, DiscreteSearch, WebSearch, Findwide Search Engine

Now do the same in the computer’s Programs Folder.
