Yuanbao Search

Yuanbao Search is a dedicated web search platform launched by Tencent, with the address so.qq.com. It is not the same as the dialogue functionality within the Yuanbao App: on its homepage, there is only one search bar. When you enter keywords, web search results are displayed immediately; if you want the AI to assist in analyzing the results, you can switch to the “AI Mode”.

The biggest difference between it and Baidu or Bing lies in their content repositories. Articles from official accounts, videos from video accounts, and news from Tencent News – all contents that are difficult to find through external search engines – can be easily retrieved here. This will be particularly useful for those who conduct content research. The sources of the information will be clearly indicated, and answers will be displayed separately from advertisements; moreover, ads can be hidden with just one click.

I also put some effort into my academic pursuits: I learned how to extract key points from literature and trace the original texts; moreover, English documents can now be translated with just one click. The follow-up questions can be submitted in three forms: text, voice, or image.

It is currently available for free, and you can search without even logging in. If you already frequently use the WeChat ecosystem to search for information, it’s worth adding it as an alternative search option.
