       MOSCOW, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Russian internet giant Yandex
 YNDX.O  on Thursday reported a 46% year-on-year increase in
total revenues in the third quarter to 133.2 billion roubles
($2.14 billion) and expanded its dominant share in the domestic
search market.    
    Yandex in August sold its news aggregator, content platform
Zen and homepage yandex.ru to state-controlled VK  VKCODR.MM  in
a move that is expected to tighten the government's grip on the
internet, but maintains Yandex's stranglehold on online
searches, which account for a little under half of its revenues.
