Since Baidu has inserted countless ads for profit (I don't actually mind ads, after all, they need to make money, but I can't accept extensive ads), I have decided to stop using Baidu. However, at that time, when I only knew Baidu, I was in a dilemma. Besides Baidu, what other search engines could I choose? At that time, I didn't have any magical means, and my skills in web surfing were very weak, so I could only reluctantly use Baidu for many years. But now, as my surfing skills have improved, I have also come into contact with many search engines and have been using other search engines for a long time. Therefore, based on my user experience, I have written this article in the hope that it can help you escape from Baidu or find a good search engine. The 🪄 symbol represents the need for magic.
Serious Recommendations:#
Bing#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Recommendation Reason: A search engine that can be used both domestically and internationally. The search results have been quite accurate in my experience over the past few years. If you need an alternative to Baidu, this search engine is my top recommendation. After all, it is backed by Microsoft, so there is no need to worry about it shutting down. It can also be accessed normally in China, and the speed is fast.

Searxng#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: No
- Recommendation Reason: Open source! Free! No ads! Supports self-deployment! Of course, it is still recommended to use someone else's deployment. It is actually an aggregated search engine where you can set up aggregation for Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, etc. When using it, just choose the fastest one.

DuckDuckGo🪄#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Recommendation Reason: It claims to be a privacy-focused search engine, and the search results are quite accurate. You don't need to log in, and it is also the search engine I use most often when using 🪄.

Google Search🪄#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Recommendation Reason: The world's number one search engine. Although it also has ads, the search results and accuracy are excellent in all aspects. It can be said to be an essential search engine for programmers (although it has now been replaced by chatgpt).

F Sou#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: No
- Recommendation Reason: No ads, clean interface (I really like it, simple and generous). Unfortunately, the access speed is not fast for me. It's a small workshop, so it can't compare with big companies. But if you like simplicity, you can use it.

Brave Search🪄#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Recommendation Reason: Another search engine that claims to focus on privacy, but personally, I have used it for a while and the search results are not ideal.

Toutiao Search#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Recommendation Reason: A search engine under ByteDance, but the overall user experience is not good.

Not So Serious Recommendations:#
ChatGPT#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Is it paid: Yes (but there are free mirror sites)
- Recommendation Reason: Everyone who has used it says it's good, except that it can't access the internet and some of the information is outdated. It's really useful.

Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book)#
- Recommendation Index: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
- Does it have ads: Yes
- Is it paid: No
- Recommendation Reason: Although it is not as formal as a search engine for regular searches, it is really useful for finding resources, places to go, what to eat, etc. It also comes with text and images, which in a sense is even better than a search engine.

Brief Summary#
Actually, if you just want to find a domestic search engine that can replace Baidu and can be accessed normally, then choose Bing. If you value privacy, you can choose Searxng or DuckDuckGo. If you are surfing with 🪄, Google Search is the best choice. F Sou is suitable for those who don't like ads and prefer a clean interface. ChatGPT and Xiaohongshu are excellent choices besides regular search engines. They can quickly provide you with the results or solutions you want. Actually, I don't think a single search engine is completely useful. I still recommend combining the advantages of various engines to quickly get the results you want (for example, I use the combination of Bing+ChatGPT+Xiaohongshu). Finally, I hope this article can help you escape from Baidu! 😀
