Well that's weird. Searching vkontakte gives a lot of results (in the realm of what you would expect). Maybe it's a command or something else is happening with that query?
Interestingly, ВК (vk in cyrillic) gives also 1 result.
Searching for 'VK' shows only a single result on DuckduckGo. Why?

A different one at that. But other 2-letter queries return normal sets of results.

These results are not in the language I have my browser set to, so maybe it is filtering based on language.

#18A couple months ago, this was happening for every search. Maybe this is similar.

Google returns: "About 782,000,000 results (0.45 seconds) "
If you actually click through Google's result pages, you will find that there are actually only about 87 results. Even if you "repeat the search with the omitted results included" Google returns only about 226 results. Google's estimated result count is routinely off by so much as to make it virtually useless.

#20Manually changing region to Russia gives many more results.

Might be a partnership with Yandex to not show russian results outside Russia? Because they use Yandex in Russia.
