Zhongsou.com - Chinese Search Engine
China Search Online, ?China
Supplied note: "Zhongsou is said to be the largest Chinese search engine. The seven major chinese portals Sina, Sohu, NetEase, TOM, 263, China.org.cn, and 3721.com reportedly now all feature search through Zhongsou. However, the portals display the search-results in different ways, sometimes there seems to be no connection at all between the portal's results. The search engine recently was strong at finding chinese news, but it also offers Web- and media-search, too. Advanced search offers AND, OR, NOT boolean operators, a 'site:- and 'link:'-search, a preferences page that can be used for combinig the indexes, and a help page. There is also a searchable discussion forum. For more information cf. an article from people.com.cn, a WWW news service by the People's Daily, at http://www.people.com.cn/GB/it/1066/2261301.html (December 23, 2003; thanks to Oliver Radtke, Heidelberg, for this information) - hl."
