Efficient and comprehensive access to information is inevitable, and ultimately it is necessary to go to universal search, a modified general search, which may be the final
byte beating as early as preparing for its universal search engine.
It was learned that the byte hopping has invested 871.429 million yuan in interactive encyclopedia through its wholly-owned subsidiary. According to the information on the national corporate credit information disclosure system, Beijing Quantum Yuet Technology Co., Ltd. has already subscribed the capital contribution as early as March 1 this year, and July 21 is the date of publicity. This means that in fact, bytebeat has already invested in interactive encyclopedia, of course, the recent rumors of “bytes beating acquisition of interactive encyclopedia” news is not broken.
Huabang Law Firm lawyer Liu Weiping gave calculations, byte beats through the quantum jump to hold 22.22% of the shares of the interactive encyclopedia. From the perspective of shareholder structure, quantum jump is the largest shareholder, and Pan Haidong, the founder of the interactive encyclopedia, is the second largest shareholder. However, it is not clear whether the bytebeat is the actual controller of the company. The so-called company actual controller refers to a person who, although not a shareholder of the company, can actually control the company’s behavior through investment relationships, agreements or other arrangements.
In this case, the query byte is beating, and the request for comment is not replied as of press time.

From strategic cooperation to investment and shareholding, bytebeat bets are mostly for the general search engine.
On August 10th, the universal search engine “Headline Search”, which has been exclusively reported in bytes, has been quietly launched. The search categories mainly cover video, information, music and other seven categories. The content mainly comes from headlines, micro headlines, and vibrato. When it comes to its own products, the source of content outside the station is very scarce. Compared to Baidu, the content of bytebeat is not enough to prop up a general search engine.
Take the Encyclopedia entry for example, Baidu has Baidu Encyclopedia, Sogou has Sogou Encyclopedia, 360 has 360 Encyclopedia, Google has Wikipedia, which is the basic reference for users to obtain information, and is the basic standard for search engines. From this, it is judged that this is something that the byte-hopping layout search engine must do.
The two sides seem to have reached a consensus on the task of cooperating to build a search engine. On April 24 this year, Interactive Encyclopedia reached a long-term strategic cooperation with today’s headlines. It is reported that the content of the future interactive encyclopedia will export the top quality to today’s headlinesThe encyclopedia content covers people, attractions, animals and plants and other fields, providing users with convenient encyclopedia search services. From the report at the time, the search screenshot used was the headline search, not the search within the headline App today.
In the daily search, Baidu Encyclopedia is more familiar to users, but there are more entries in the interactive encyclopedia. According to the April data, Interactive Encyclopedia has accumulated 18 million entries after 13 years of development. As of May 2019, Baidu Encyclopedia has included nearly 15 million entries, and more than 6.7 million netizens participated in the entry editing.

Bytes beating wars with search companies/content companies, including Baidu, around search but far beyond search. It can be predicted that in addition to encyclopedia, headline search must complement music, maps, and small programs. The hopping of bytes and the wars of other companies may also involve the establishment of information silos and the breaking of information silos.
Knowing $434 million in F-round financing may explain some issues. In this financing, fast-handed investment, Baidu and investment, Tencent and the original investors of today’s capital continue to follow. In the past, there were contradictions and tonal differences, and competing companies chose to invest together.
Knowing the founder and CEO Zhou Yuan explained, “Knowing and fast, Baidu, although the product form and user scene are very different, but in a large field, users have similar places, everyone faces The problem of information silos and the increasing cost of users getting high quality content are the same.”
The problem of isolated islands created by the mobile Internet, Baidu is deeply convinced. Because it did not create a variety of content quality products, Baidu search became a rootless wood, and even let it fall into the dilemma of “Baidu search is dead.” Baidu was aware of the problem a few years ago, but the money brought by search engines was temporarily numb. This year, Baidu became a mobile eco-business group, adding more products to the user’s products. A few days ago, Baidu App broke through 200 million, and hundreds of small programs and small programs became growth engines. Baidu Post Bar, good-looking videos and other new and old products are constantly adjusting. .

But a few super information silos are not the end, just like a few super apps can’t solve the problem. The Super App has deepened some information in the vertical field, which is a prelude; efficient and comprehensive access to information is inevitable, and ultimately it is necessary to go to universal search, a modified general search, which may be the end.
Baidu, which has a 70% share in the search engine market, is still a force to be reckoned with. The headline search for this new intro, obviously wants to create a new and different search engine. Visible from slogan, Baidu slogan is “something to search, nothing to look at”, the headline search is “search you want to search for you.” Another variable is WeChat Search, whose social genetic decision will go on a different path than Baidu search and headline search.
A reader once asked the author why WeChat does not launch a general search engine? First of all, WeChat is the concept of going to the center. The general search engine is highly commercialized. The concept is different. Secondly, WeChat is a closed acquaintance social environment. The universal search engine is an open public platform, which involves privacy security.
In any case, the subsequent competition will be particularly fierce, but what they do is to overweight the content, speed up the flow of information, and break the information island.
