ByteDance Launches Beta Version of Its Wikipedia-like Search Site
字节跳动推出类似维基百科的搜索网站测试版
“完美”对标百度， 字节跳动推出头条百科
ByteDance, Tik Tok’s operator, officially released the beta version of a 15-year-old online search website Baike.com under its own brand on April 30, ramping up efforts to challenge search engine giant Baidu’s position in the free encyclopedia area.
字节跳动是抖音的运营商，其于4月30日正式发布了一个拥有15年历史的在线搜索网站的测试版，加大了挑战搜索引擎巨头百度在免费百科全书领域的地位的力度。
ByteDance’s latest move comes after a nearly 1-year-long plan to gain a competitive edge in the search business after it bought a 22.2% stake in online encyclopedia Baike.com, becoming the largest shareholder in August 2019.
字节跳动采取这一行动之前，为在搜索业务中获得竞争优势而制定了近一年的计划，该公司于2019年8月收购了在线百科全书22.2%的股份，成为该公司最大的股东。
As of early 2020, Baike.com had over 18 million items with categories including science, history and entertainment. Users can currently access the service via its official website or directly through Toutiao, another of ByteDance’s core products.
到2020年初，在线百科全书有1800多万个项目，领域涉及科学、历史和娱乐。目前，用户可以通过其官方网站或直接通过字节跳动的另一个核心产品头条百科获得服务。
Baike.com said that it aims to provide users with accurate, comprehensive and legible information, and also allows users to create, edit, and revise items to share their professional knowledge.
在线百科全书表示，它旨在是为用户提供准确、全面和易读的信息，并允许用户创建、编辑和修改项目，分享他们的专业知识。
While Baidu faces mounting accusations of false information online, it remains the biggest search engine in China. By officially testing the revamped encyclopedia provider, ByteDance is pushing further into the search market to vie for users with Baidu.
尽管百度面临越来越多的虚假信息线上指控，但它仍然是中国最大的搜索引擎。通过对改版的百科全书提供商进行正式测试，字节跳动正进一步进军搜索市场，与百度争夺用户。
