Statistical data search

The statistical data search that is offered by Baidu, will enable an user to search whatever statistics available on the Web that are indexed by Baidu. I did some randomn searches like cell phone, loan, internet users, etc. in Chinese language but the data that were provided were all pretty old. I didn’t get a result newer than 2001. Entering a year additionally didn’t provide any information.

Additionally Baidu’s statistical search seems to be backed by soshoo.com as you can see its logo is in the right top corner of the statistical search results.

Soshoo is a vertical data search website which was setup on August 16, 2006 in Beijing. On the strength of its 12 years’ data acquisition and management experience in China’s information industry, Soshoo set foot in the search engine market, with hundreds of millions of authoritative data.

Patent search

Baidu will release what could be an interesting search service in next year, i.e. January 1, 2008, called the Baidu Patent Search. It’s a product that jointly cooperated with the SIPO, State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. However, the details of which domain Baidu would used and how many patent documents that Baidu going to index to its search engine were not disclosed at this moment.
