Based on interviews with the Chinese youth demographic, Google continues to struggle with lower user awareness, compared to Chinese search engine Baidu. These findings are contained in consulting firm Pearl Research's new report "Baidu vs. Google: A Study of Search Engine Preferences among Chinese Youth."

Key findings of the report: Our interviews indicate that many Chinese youth chose to use Baidu over Google because they believe Baidu is a domestic product and thus should be better at indexing Chinese content. + Baidu's strong multimedia entertainment search bolsters its popularity. +Baidu's earlier entry into the Chinese search engine market and higher visibility via partnerships and software add-ons has made it a challenge for Google to gain users despite a number of brand-localizing strategies. The study is part of Pearl Research's Phoenix Generation series of report on Chinese youth. This exclusive study is based on Chinese consumer insight gleaned from 40 one-on-one interviews and a 450-person survey.
