Taobao Launches Beta Version of Search Engine

China Computer World, 10/09/10

A beta-test version of Etao (www.etao.com), the internet search site developed by Alibaba Group subsidiary Taobao, went online on October 9. The site features web and consumer product search, as well as Tao Bar, an online forum similar to Baidu Post Bar.

In addition to supplying search functions for B2C and C2C e-commerce site TaoBao, Etao also allows general searches of off-site web pages, organizing the results into categories such as consumer products, Q&A, information, web sites, and images.
