Recently, a friend recommended a search engine “Magi” to the author, saying that it uses AI technology, which is amazing and even stronger than Google! In China, everyone uses a certain degree, and there are not too many other options. Google does not expand its search business in China. Although Magi is also from abroad, it is at least registered in China and can be used normally, which aroused the author’s curiosity. Can it really be better than Google? Can it become another choice for domestic users? Lets come look.

The biggest selling point of Magi search engine is the use of AI technology. According to the introduction, Magi can not only simply grab the information on the Internet, but also recognize the sentences in the information, extract the knowledge from it into structured data, and provide users with a “resolvable, searchable, and traceable knowledge system” .

What does this mean? To put it simply, when Magi crawls a web page, AI can recognize what the web page is saying, not just ordinary keywords; and Magi can also organize these things on the web page into a knowledge system, allowing you Know the search answer more intuitively. Take a look at Magi’s search results, it may be easier to understand this.
In this case, the author searched for “puppet cat”. It can be seen that Magi does not only give some simple information or related web pages like ordinary search engines, but lists the various characteristics and knowledge of the puppet cat.
Magi’s search results for “Puppet Cat”
When you want to learn more about the puppet cat, you can click on the knowledge listed by Magi Luo, and more information will be presented. Magi will tell you which web pages this knowledge point is learned from, and how credible it is. You can also click on the web pages of these Magi learning sources to learn more about it.
Information credibility
On the right side of the page, Magi lists the learning sources of puppet cat related knowledge. When the mouse moves to these source webpage entries, there will be blue lines connected to the knowledge points in the Magi search results, indicating what knowledge the source provides for Magi, which is very intuitive.
List the related sources of knowledge points
The value of Magi lies in this set of knowledge systems constructed through AI analysis of natural semantics. In other respects, Magi’s performance is very average.
In addition to presenting knowledge graphs, Magi also presents information matched based on keywords like other search engines. In this regard, Magi’s performance is quite satisfactory, no matter it is compared with Google or a certain degree, it has no characteristics. However, the advantage of Magi is that there is no advertising at all, which may be because the commercialization has not reached a high level.
Magi’s normal search results are no surprises
Magi’s function is relatively simple, it can only display text search results, can not search for pictures, videos and more. Therefore, Magi is not suitable for the following purposes:
· Search for multimedia content, including pictures, videos, etc.;
· Searching for the latest information, Magi will not show you the news corresponding to the keyword. For example, if you want to know the latest trends in the “economy”, Magi will only show you the knowledge graph, not the news about the economy;
Like Baidu, you can search “economic” news directly, but Magi cannot
· As a direct-use tool. For example, if you want to convert the exchange rate, you can directly use the exchange rate calculator by searching for “exchange rate” in Google. Magi does not have such a function.
Searching for “Exchange Rate” on Google will directly provide chart information and converters, which Magi cannot do
In addition, Magi does not have the necessary tools for search engines such as hot spot tracking, popularity index, etc. You cannot understand the hot spots of the entire network from a global perspective, nor can you understand the ecological trends of the entire Internet.
In general, Magi is a search engine with distinctive features. It uses AI to extract web information and summarize the selling point of knowledge points, which is quite distinctive. With Magi, you can quickly understand the various knowledge corresponding to a certain keyword. However, Magi is still very imperfect. It is roughly a semi-finished product , which is embarrassing to use. Compared with mature search engines such as Google and certain degree, Magi may be stronger in some aspects, but the comprehensive user experience is still far behind. Magi is a good choice for early adopters, and interested friends can try it.
