Microsoft's Bing to provide results for Chinese search engine Sogou

Chinese search engine Sogou teamed up with Microsoft Thursday to use its Bing service to provide Chinese users with English search results. Sogou, a relatively small online search engine in China, said in a statement that it will leverage the global search technology of Microsoft’s bing and provide English-language web information and academic data to better serve Chinese’s increasing demand for global information.

The new services are Sogou English and Sogou Academic, and they will allow Chinese users to get access to trillions of pieces of English-language information. The service is also able to automatically translate Chinese language search requests and get users English-language research results, with the latter giving users access to English academic studies and research.
