Qihoo 360's AI Search Bets on Questions Over Keywords

Originally published in Chinese on February 5, 2024. Qihoo 360, a Chinese internet security company that also runs a search engine, has launched an AI search product. Someone asked what opportunities it has and what problems it faces. Here is how I see it. The case for general search I tried the web version and the mobile app. The mobile app has already had two minor updates, so the update pace is fairly quick. The web interaction feels a lot like Perplexity overall, with some optimization in how results are extracted and summarized. Anyone interested can try it with a range of questions.
