Standard quark, byte launched a new ad-free search engine Wukong search
According to CTOnews.com8 news on March 23, byte recently launched a new "Wukong search" App, which was last updated in version 1.2.0 on August 15. The slogan of Wukong search App is "quality information, search without advertising", which means it will focus on ad-free search.
In the actual experience, the overall feeling of Goku searching App is relatively simple. When you open App, it defaults to the home page, with a search bar designed for black and green color in the middle, Chinese and English logo of Wukong search at the top, recommended information flow below, and QR code scanning in the upper right corner. When users start browsing the information flow, the Wukong search logo will fade out and the search bar will be further simplified to enhance the user's reading experience.
At the bottom of Wukong search is the navigation bar, which not only has the home page, but also has a shortcut center on the left and a multi-window function on the right. In the Quick Center, users can see their favorites, history and downloads, while App reminds them to log in. After the user clicks on multiple windows, they can see the currently open page and can add and delete pages. In the lower right corner of the page, users can quickly open trackless browsing and access private content.
In the actual search, you can see that Wukong search does not have ads, and the results displayed are relatively refreshing, so that users can quickly find what they need. This effectively avoids the intrusion of advertisements to users and improves the search and reading experience of users.
Previously, Alibaba's quark has won the favor of many users because there is no advertising. From the actual experience, we can find that Wukong search, the new search engine launched by byte this time, is a standard quark. Coupled with Jinri Toutiao, which has more complex functions launched before byte, byte is expected to further expand its market share through this combination.
CTOnews.com learned that because Wukong search focuses on ad-free search, this will greatly sacrifice its ability to cash in through advertising. Some analysts believe that Wukong search may develop towards a "platform connector" in the future, using search as a medium to connect other byte businesses to complete cash.
