The world's fourth largest search engine affirms that Truong Sa and Hoang Sa belong to Vietnam.
The map service of technology company Yandex, the largest search engine in Russia and the fourth largest in the world, has recognized the Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos as belonging to Vietnam's sovereignty.
If you use the Yandex Maps service (at the addresshttps://yandex.com/maps/) and search for Vietnamese place names, when the results are returned, it will delimit all areas belonging to Vietnamese territory, including both Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagos.

Not stopping there, if you search for the place names "Hoang Sa" or "Truong Sa", Yandex Maps will give a list of suggested results, which once again affirm Vietnam's sovereignty over these two archipelagos on the Yandex map service, in which for the Hoang Sa archipelago, Yandex will provide information that this is an island district of Da Nang city, while for the Truong Sa archipelago, it will clearly show that this is an island district of Khanh Hoa province.

In addition to the Yandex Maps map service, other major online map services such as Google Maps or Here Maps currently do not show the ownership of the two archipelagos of Truong Sa and Hoang Sa on their map services (do not clearly show which country owns these two archipelagos).
Yandex is known as the “Google of Russia”, although the company was founded in 1997, a year before Google was born. Yandex is the largest search engine in Russia (accounting for 60% of the market share in the country) and the 4th largest in the world.
