Tech News Desk – Tiktok’s parent company ByteDance has launched its search engine in China. ByteDance’s search engine name is Wukong. For your information, let us tell you that Baidu works as a major search engine in China. Google has been banned in China for a long time. A few days ago ByteDance’s company Tencent Holdings had shut down its search engine Sogou. Sogou was introduced by the company only last year. The ByteDance search engine is also included in Apple’s App-Store. Apart from this, Wukong is being supported in many Chinese Android phones. Wukong directly competes with Baidu, which is the largest search engine in China. Google is banned in China, so it is not possible to talk about Wukong’s competition with Google. If this search engine is launched globally, then it can be compared with the users of Google.
ByteDance claims to have better quality search results related to Wukong. The company has also said that users will not see ads with Wukong. At the same time, Wukong may benefit from the ongoing dispute with Baidu since 2016. Let us tell you that Baidu is accused of showing paid search results. In 2016, a 21-year-old student died due to Baidu asking him to treat cancer. Like all search engines, Wukong will offer various search categories, including news, pictures, videos, etc. Wukong will also have the option to save content from bookmarks. Wukong will also have an Incognito Mode, which the company claims will not save the user’s search history.
