According to Statcounter’s data, in the desktop search market in mainland China in April 2023, Microsoft’s Bing search engine surpassed Baidu’s 27.01% market share with 37.4%, marking a historic breakthrough. This news immediately aroused widespread attention and controversy.

Industry insiders have pointed out that although Microsoft’s New Bing combines the powerful capabilities of ChatGPT and Edge browsers, Statcounter’s statistical methods have problems, and there are loopholes in the logic and behavior of crawling. For example, the organization uses tracking codes on its website to collect data, but a large number of Chinese internet websites/apps do not have open interfaces, so the data may have serious errors.

Microsoft launched the new version of Bing in February this year, combining OpenAI’s big language model GPT-3. In just a few weeks, the daily active user count of the new version of Bing quickly exceeded 100 million. The new version of Bing, as the only search engine that integrates artificial intelligence so far, has given Microsoft a first-mover advantage using OpenAI. However, due to data security issues (numerous data breaches and copyright issues caused by ChatGPT), there are very few users in China who can try New Bing. It is not realistic to rely on this ability to drive New Bing’s market share in China.

In addition to ChatGPT’s capabilities, Microsoft has also equipped New Bing with a powerful companion: the Edge browser. However, according to Statcounter’s data, in the global browser market from April 2022 to April 2023, Google Chrome browser continued to dominate with a market share of 66%, while Edge browser had a market share of only 10.73%. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the Edge browser can provide sufficient support for Bing.

Despite these controversies and issues, the news that Bing has surpassed Baidu in the desktop search market in mainland China has still attracted widespread attention. This is undoubtedly an important milestone for Microsoft and a significant transformation in the Chinese search engine market. Whether Bing can continue to maintain this leading position and expand its market share in the future deserves close attention.

According to Statcounter’s data, Microsoft Bing’s share of China’s desktop search market has reached 37.4%, a historic high. This means that Microsoft Bing’s position in China’s search market has been significantly improved.

Microsoft Bing has replaced Baidu as the largest desktop search engine in China. This means that Microsoft Bing has become a leader in China’s search market.

Baidu’s share of PC-based search is four times that of Microsoft Bing

Despite Microsoft Bing’s historically high share in China’s desktop search market, Baidu’s share of PC-based search is still four times that of Microsoft Bing. This data indicates that Baidu remains an important player in China’s search market.

Baidu’s Penetration Rate in Traditional Search Engines is as high as 96.3%

According to Statcounter’s data, Baidu’s penetration rate in traditional search engines (both PC and mobile) is as high as 96.3%. This indicates that Baidu’s position in China’s search market remains very strong.

Challenges Facing China’s Search Industry

In addition to the issues mentioned above, China’s search industry also faces challenges such as the information Island dilemma, increasing competition for high-quality content, and changes in online marketing services. These challenges have had an impact on the development of China’s search engine market.

1. Microsoft’s Bing has reached a historic high in China’s desktop search market share, surpassing Baidu to become the largest desktop search engine. This view is presented based on information from Xueqiu, which states that Bing commands a 37.4% market share.
2. There is controversy over the aforementioned figure. This view cites authoritative data to suggest that Baidu’s PC-based search share is four times higher than Bing’s. This may indicate that Bing’s share in the desktop search market is not as high as suggested or that there may be errors in the data.
3. Baidu has a penetration rate of 96.3% in the traditional search engine market (both PC and mobile). This indicates that Baidu still maintains a high market share in the overall search market.
4. Although Baidu remains ahead in the search business, it faces increasing competition from competitors such as 360, Sogou, Maoneng, and Qihoo, as well as emerging internet platforms such as WeChat and ByteDance.
5. China’s search industry is facing issues such as information isolation, increasing competition for high-quality content, and changes in online marketing services. These issues are causing search engines to face challenges related to meeting users’ diverse needs, increasing the process and time to obtain answers, competitive pressure on content ecosystems, creators facing data anxiety, and a decline in user trust due to advertising ranking systems.
6. In response to these challenges, Chinese search companies need to seek innovation and embrace change. This involves Baidu’s use of generative AI technology to optimize its content ecosystem, as well as other search companies’ efforts to provide better search tools and content services to retain users and enhance their competitiveness.

“All Bing Ads advertising products will be launched on AOL search traffic websites, providing more quality say to marketers and getting closer to consumers. Our collaboration with AOL will create additional sales opportunities for advertisers and salespeople,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The announcement follows a new modified search agreement between Microsoft and Yahoo, which will allow Yahoo to use Bing’s search results for 51% of its searches, up from 100%. Microsoft’s deal with Yahoo will also take effect on 2023-09-19, while the Bing search engine’s market share has grown to one-fifth of the US PC web search market.

The collaboration with AOL includes some of its well-known websites such as Huffington Post, Engadget, TechCrunch, and others, all of which will be powered by the Bing search engine.

The agreement marks a significant milestone for Microsoft in the search market as it continues to grow its share and forge new partnerships to stay competitive with industry giants like Google. The deal with AOL represents another key move for Microsoft in expanding its Bing search engine’s reach and improving its position in the highly competitive web search market.

Under the agreement, Bing Ads will be served on all of AOL’s search traffic sites, providing more exposure opportunities for advertisers. As Bing’s market share in US search engines steadily rises, now accounting for one-fifth, this cooperation with AOL will further expand its influence in the US. Industry analysts believe that with the cooperation of AOL and Yahoo, Bing will be able to account for one-third of the US PC web search share.

In addition, Microsoft’s previous cooperation agreement with Yahoo has also been updated. Microsoft will provide 51% of search results to Yahoo, instead of the previous 100%. The industry sees this adjustment as a further warming of relations between the two.

Major AOL websites including Huffington Post, Engadget, and TechCrunch will all use Bing as the default search engine. The cooperation agreement between Microsoft and AOL is for a period of 5 years and is expected to further enhance Bing’s status in US online search.

Experts say that the increasing frequency of search engine cooperation shows that major internet companies are re-adjusting their strategies to deal with the increasingly fierce competitive environment. It is expected that Microsoft’s relationships with Yahoo and AOL will continue to warm up in the future, forming a strong challenge to Google’s influence as a search engine. 

The solutions are as follows:

1. Press Win and R keys on the keyboard at the same time to open the “Run” dialog box. Enter regedit in the dialog box and click “OK” to open the Registry Editor. 

2. After opening the Registry Editor, find “Registry” → “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT” → “Directory” → “Background” → “shellex” → “ContextMenuHandlers” in sequence.

3. Under “ContextMenuHandlers”, only keep the “New” option and delete all other options. If an error occurs when deleting an option, just click “OK”. 

4. Finally exit the Registry Editor and test the refresh effect. If it is still invalid, you can restart the system and test again. 

By following the above steps, you can solve the problem of slow response when right-clicking to refresh the desktop in Windows 7. The other options under ContextMenuHandlers in the Registry Editor may cause the desktop refresh to slow down. Deleting them can speed up the refresh and improve the experience. If the solution does not work, restarting the system may also work because restarting can clear the memory occupied by the system and speed up the system’s operation.

2. Shut down and restart the computer where the system needs to be installed. When restarting, click the F12 button intermittently. Some computers do not have F12 buttons. Please refer to your computer operation guide to enter the BIOS system interface;

3. On the BIOS interface, use the direction keys to control the cursor movement and use the Enter key to control the selection. In most cases, find the U disk startup option in the “boot” option. Individual computers are not selected in the “boot” option

4. Click the USB flash disk to start and enter the USB flash disk installation system. Select the Ghost installation option in the installation system interface. Different installation USB flash disk systems are different. Please refer to the relevant information
