The embarrassment of Baidu culture search

Baidu in August 9 released the Baidu culture channel, and most people have been rumors of Baidu IM and mailbox but did not release, so many Baidu fans some disappointment. But the culture channel of Baidu is just like "culture" these two words, let the author feel confused. The author in the Cultural Sharing channel search "Facebook" and "Shadow Play" and Web channel search results made a comparison, found that the results of web search is better than cultural sharing channels, so it seems that Baidu's culture channel has not become a chicken?

Baidu's Search refinement

Baidu's search early is for Web pages and information forms of search, such as Web search, news, pictures; with 2.0 of products rich Baidu also dabbled in paste search, know, blog search, for different types of Web sites, Baidu launched the government search, books, Chinese studies, children and other search channels. Baidu will search the channel to subdivide the purpose is very simple: when Baidu content more and more, the user searches the keyword also more and more, the Baidu thinning channel is very necessary. Because, if each word search is to consume Baidu's server in the billions of pages in real-time search, for Baidu is simply disastrous.

Let users judge the classification of keywords, choose different channels, in a smaller range of search, not only can realize real-time search, and speed and correlation can also be guaranteed (the site is greatly reduced). Let users into different channels, streaming all the web search pressure, Baidu is the latest development trend. For example, users to search for government information, can be searched through the government, Baidu is in all government sites to search, and do not have to search all the sites. Both efficiency and speed can be greatly improved.

Cultural search encounters embarrassment

Baidu's culture-sharing search is also categorized according to the content of the search sub channel. But Baidu has forgotten a problem, that is the concept of culture is too rich, it is difficult to judge which words have culture, which words are not culture. For example, search for "Facebook" and "Shadow Play" You may think of culture, but music, photography, art, film is not a culture? Are we looking for it in a movie search or in a culture search? The concept of culture itself is ambiguous, but the choice is given to the user. Small to a blog big to the integration of the Internet is a culture, but let users to distinguish what culture, indeed a little hard for them.
