Baidu Web Search
“Baidu’s web search allows users to locate information using Chinese language search queries. Our web search also incorporates some Bing’s English search results, which are presented to our users conducting searches using English language search queries. Through our proprietary search technology, we build and continuously refine a large database of Chinese synonyms and closely associated phrases, which is essential for accurate and efficient execution of Chinese language searches. The Baidu.com home page features a search box prominently, which is designed not only to load quickly but also to be user-friendly. After entering a search query, users are generally presented with a list of search results, which may include our customers’ links marked as sponsored links. Users can then access the desired websites by clicking on the hypertext links displayed in the search results”. More information
