Paradoxically, the emergence of the algo-powered content recommendation/push model as manifested in Toutiao's runaway success has led many to pronounce the death of search.

Investors have long thought that the Chinese Internet leader most at risk from Bytedance’s rise is Baidu - with good reason. Patent filings, academic papers, recruitment flyers & internal presentations have long shown its interest in search. This is the mere tip of the iceberg. https://t.co/670j9jnsMr

ByteDance just launched a web-based, standalone search engine. Symbolically speaking, it represents the biggest threat to Baidu after Google left China in 2010 https://t.co/CRCXGuRYsu via @technology pic.twitter.com/ZZ1FKxJf51

ByteDanceが独自の検索ポータル(https://t.co/oBg6ANgKJM)を提供開始。しっかり検閲もされた上でTikTokのコンテンツも検索対象に。そしてモバイル向けのUIのみ。検索窓叩けばなんかしら見つかるこの発想、モバイルのUXってやっぱこれよな。https://t.co/Eik9e5iDGa
