Search and research

Look something up and keep a basis you can check later.

For an answer with sources, start with Metaso. Nami and Quark are different entrances, not a small gap inside one product.

  1. First pick

    Metaso

    Metaso

    An answer with sources, rather than a string of ad links.

    How to finish this job in mainland China

    Where to open it. The China site metaso.cn opened. https://metaso.cn/

    What it is good for. An answer with sources, rather than a string of ad links.

    What it is not. Not the same product as Nami or Quark, and not a small gap inside one product. Use it when the answer needs sources you can check later.

  2. Alternate

    Nami

    360

    Search and chat sit together. It suits looking something up in passing.

    How to finish this job in mainland China

    Where to open it. so.n.cn opened. The footer has a filing number. https://so.n.cn/

    What it is good for. Search and chat sit together. It suits looking something up in passing.

    What it is not. Not the first choice when you need citations you can check. That is Metaso. This list uses the search entrance so.n.cn, not the other n.cn workbench.

  3. Alternate

    Quark

    Alibaba

    Search, summaries, and files live in the browser. It suits people who already use Quark.

    What it is good for. Search, summaries, and files live in the browser. It suits people who already use Quark.

    What it is not. Not a standalone research box like Metaso. It is a browser. If you want an answer with sources you can check, open Metaso.
