Screenshot Contrast header original Instant Search words disappear

Sohu's Sogou, Tencent's search, not the only business this year to merge the search engine. Just compared with the aforementioned "private" opponents, the two search "national team" integration is quiet-in the process, the establishment of three years of Instant Search (Original people search), looks like is disappearing.

Regular access to Instant Search (jike.com) may not be the custom of most people. If you visit the search engine of the people's Daily, it will be a surprise to those unfamiliar.

There are four products available on this page: news, Web pages (default), pictures, maps.

First, web search has been taken over by the Xinhua news Agency's Pangu search. Click the search button with any keyword, and the next page is clear: The result returned from Pangu search. Second, the map product is the same fate, just the key point immediately after searching the first page of the map two words, will immediately jump to Pangu map search.

The remaining two inside, the News product page update stopped on October 22, the image search can continue to use, and immediately search the home page strongly recommended "Beauty" picture search, providing a very bold search results.

For those familiar with Instant Search, however, the change is much more than that. An instant search for an old employee joked that the page now looks a little too clean. Web History archive shows that, as compared with the immediate search page of October 8, today's immediate search home has been unrecognizable, a total of about 16 different.

In addition to the above mentioned a few points, but also include the immediate search home has been pushed, as the characteristics of the "exposure platform", "Food Safety", "medicine", "video" and other search products have been all shut down. For example, the exposure platform products, the official launch of this year, the immediate search would have wanted to build an Internet rights complaint channel.

Employees who have had instant searches have mentioned that the immediate search background is ideal for exposing products, and that instant searches are intended to form their own characteristics.

Home disappear products and links also include: Instant cloud Host, immediate open API, immediate promotion, Webmaster Center, mobile official website, recruitment of talents, for comments, about us, the people search statement. Yes, you are not mistaken, even the "About Us" page of the link also disappeared, through the snapshot of the Web can also be a glimpse of the glory:

"The company is central to the establishment of international communications capacity-building key projects, in the cutting-edge field of national Internet technology, it undertakes the important task of building own intellectual property rights and new generation of large capacity network search platform, and it has a vital mission in national cultural inheritance, image dissemination, information security, public opinion guidance and international communication ability construction. ”

It is difficult to determine when the changes occur immediately on the home page, but the results of the search on Sina Weibo show that as early as October 15, Weibo users have noticed the jump to pan gu search. It may be that the user groups that are instantly searching are small, and this rather surprising change has only been mentioned several times on Weibo.

There is also a detail that is keenly perceived.

Users @ Four new people shed on the evening of Friday issued a band map Weibo. The picture is two people's Daily, the publication date on the left is October 31, and the right is November 1. The header area of the two newspapers, the People's daily four words below, the previous day also listed "Search URL: http://www.jike.com", after a few days have disappeared.

But Instant search changes happen sooner than October, and there is a sign that there has been an updated search for official microblogs almost every weekday, September 27 after 07:28, no more.

Disappear more than the above mentioned products, the immediate search headquarters, but also from the same year overlooking the Beijing East Tri-Ring CBD shengjing, the absolute high-end atmosphere of the global financial center, relocated to the south of Beijing Daxing District.

If you are familiar with the Xinhua news agency, you should know that Xinhua has a new media industry base in Daxing District, Xinhua News Agency's, and Pangu search is here. So, Instant Search is not only home dedicated to Pangu search, two of the search team seems to have further "confluence" of ideas.

In response to the changes, immediate search and Pangu search related departments were not commented. The two companies also have employees of Sina Technology, said that there is no formal notice of the future direction of the two companies.

Instant Search and Pangu Search merged news, has been in the popular. This August, more than two companies to determine the merger of the news, and the immediate search general manager Deng Yaping left the argument. But it did not see any substantial changes after that, at least before moving to Daxing, immediately search staff can see Deng Yaping.

Now Deng Yaping to stay in geometry? There seems to be no clear statement. To be sure, Instant Search and Pangu search technology teams have varying degrees of executive turnover.

Search this side immediately, the chief scientist Liu, vice president of research and Development, Wang, mobile division general manager of Qianjiang in recent months to leave; Pangu search that side, CTO Chenli People also resigned in July.

The common ground for these people is the Google background. Liu team to provide technical support for Instant Search, and Chenli people from the Liu team left, also in Pangu Search to develop a new search engine. This May Chenli people also came forward to the media to introduce Pangu search of the new technology framework, but he seems to be outside the technology is still unfamiliar.

And all of these, perhaps with Instant Search jump Pangu search related.

Because of the "national team" in the fierce search market, performance is weak. At least since the second half of last year, there have been some high-level figures that have made it clear that the immediate and Pangu structure will be adjusted, and that the need for two teams to search the country is fundamentally questioned. It is also from this point of time, immediately and Pangu began their own unusual action.

For example, Instant Search begins to cut relationships with the Liu team. Before the two sides are only cooperative relations: immediate money, Liu team out of technology. However, after spending a significant amount of money, the search key technology is still in the hands of Liu. Immediately the highest level began to pressure Liu, and immediately general manager Deng Yaping was involved in it.

The outcome of this event is that the Liu Team and immediate cooperation terminate, Liu exit instantly. This incident let instantly search into a storm, Deng Yaping once wanted to explain, but at the last minute changed his mind.

So there may be such a possibility, immediately search after the Liu team left, for a variety of reasons, and there is no suitable search technology, at the same time and the trend of the merger of Pangu Search, and eventually search for the original search system, was replaced by Chenli for Pangu Search Development search system.

In any case, the so-called "national team" into the search area of the attempt, and did not bring the market a significant stir. The process of Instant Search also has a lot of twists and starts, the name from the people search to instantly search, three times to replace the brand logo, but also experienced a number of technology and personnel of a number of large-scale changes.

Last June, Mr Yu, chairman of New Oriental, said to Deng Yaping, who sits under the table, on the two anniversary of the people's search, "I hope the people will search in the competition, not the power outside the market." Later Sina Science and technology cross-examine Deng yaping The answer to this question, she smiled and asked: "You think I have so much ability?" ”

Also in that time, Deng Yaping answered the question about success or failure said "anything can not be smooth sailing, are in constant setbacks in the progress of failure, we have made full preparation for difficulties," and said "no matter what the industry, always test the psychological quality, strength and endurance."

I don't know how much time is left for instant Search.
