Q: Which search engine do you use in China?

After moving to China, I have switched from Google to Bing because I think that it is much faster and reliable inside China.

I also use Baidu from time to time for the map functionality and to search music or tv shows.

 

What about you? Which is the most useful search engine for you? Do you still try to use google or have you discovered new/better options?

Google all the way. I use Bing as backup if I am in a place where Google has dodgy access, don't want to use the .cn version

For search engines anywhere in the world I always choose Dogpile. It compiles results of all the major search engines into one for the most comprehensive results. Check it out!

Google.  Baidu is unreliable - the first page of almost any search results are paid for placement slots, and not organic results.

Google mostly.  If I need to search for something in Chinese (especially addresses on a map using Chinese characters), then I'll use Baidu.

I generally use Google (HK)... and if for some reason it's not working (it happened quite a few times, but might have been a routing problem) I would use Bing.

 

I do reckon Bing is faster than Google here, but search engines are just like that... Once you get used to one, you are hooked.

I would usually use Google, although there are sometimes problems with accessing it without using a VPN. I find Baidu too unreliable though with the search results being very dodgy.

If you ever search on Google and it appears blocked www.aol.com uses the exact same search bots but that site isn't blocked (yet) so you get the same returns you would have gotten from Google.

DuckDuckGo isn't bad at all. Not as accurate as Google, but not filtered either.
