The website defaults to AI search, allowing users to receive complete answers and reference sources after inputting questions, and supports follow-up inquiries. It also retains traditional web search and provides search entry points for public accounts, video accounts, images, and academic content.Currently, there have been instances where inputting keywords in Sogou Search directly redirects to the Yuanbao Search results page, and the latest version of QQ Browser also supports setting Yuanbao Search as the search engine.
