Would like to add Baidu isn't better, too.
Example, try search proprietary software, say 'Autocad', first few results are always pirate sites, while google will show the Autodesk site and the wikipedia post.
Recently Baidu also under the spotlight for monetizing illness-related forums[1]. The issue is some patients accused the Internet giant selling their private info to _unqualified_ private hospitals. These hospitals charge a lot but usually their hardware and staff are underqualified.

- cm2187 11y agoI imagine google is showing a global popularity vs popularity in China. A good search engine shows first the results that most people are really looking for...
- happywolf 11y agoWhat happens if that was your software? Will you think it is good? Hope whatever you have for a living is NOT up there for free due to 'popular demand'.
- HappyTypist 11y agoExactly. This is actually an example of Baidu having objectively better results.

- r3bl 11y agoWow. You weren't kidding! Unless this[0] is the Autocad office in China (which I highly doubt), there's absolutely no link to the Autodesk website on the first result page. In fact, their instant answer when you search for Autocad is downloadable version of Autocad for Win/Mac/iOS. I don't have a Win/Mac computer with me at the moment, so I can't verify are those legit trial versions or pirated ones, but the iOS one points to the legit version on Apple's store.
