Yuanbao Search - AI Search Engine

Yuanbao Search is Tencent's next-generation AI search engine, officially launched in November 2026. It is available as a standalone website and can also be set as the default search engine in the latest version of QQ Browser. Built on Tencent Yuanbao's large language model capabilities, the product reconstructs the entire search pipeline—from query understanding and retrieval to ranking and answer organization—aiming to deliver a more intelligent, transparent, and trustworthy information retrieval experience for the AI era.

Core Features

• AI-Powered Intelligent Search: Leveraging a hundred-billion-scale index, the engine delivers millisecond-level retrieval latency, generates synthesized answers directly, and displays reference sources alongside the response.
• Exclusive Tencent Ecosystem Coverage: In addition to the open web, it uniquely indexes WeChat Official Accounts, WeChat Channels, Tencent News and other Tencent ecosystem content, allowing users to directly access in-depth articles and video clusters when searching trending events.
• Academic Search Optimization: For general users, it provides plain-language interpretations of paper conclusions while preserving original sources; for professional users, it supports one-click English translation and direct reading of titles and abstracts.
• Authoritative Sources & Restrained Advertising: Connected to 157 authoritative sources across 13 industries, the engine prioritizes content from authoritative institutions and official channels. Advertisements are clearly labeled as "Related Ads" in a separate module and can be collapsed entirely, with a commitment that ads will not masquerade as answers.
• Multimodal Interaction: Supports text, voice, and photo input, and presents results as cards, charts, or other structured formats as appropriate, making answers more intuitive and readable.

Use Cases

• Everyday information queries: Quickly obtain general search results for news, lifestyle services, encyclopedic knowledge, and more.
• Academic research assistance: Search academic literature, interpret paper conclusions, and access content in both Chinese and English.
• Tencent ecosystem content discovery: Target in-depth articles from WeChat Official Accounts, WeChat Channels content, and Tencent News.
• AI conversational exploration: Ask questions in natural language and receive AI-curated, structured answers with cited sources.

How to Use: Enter so.qq.com in any browser's address bar to start using the service directly. Alternatively, upgrade QQ Browser to the latest version and select "Yuanbao Search" in the search engine settings to set it as the default search tool. The product defaults to AI mode, where answers appear on the left and reference materials on the right; pressing Enter switches to traditional keyword-based search, accommodating different search habits.
