"Baidu" was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The poem compares the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles. "…hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were waning, and there she stood."(众里寻她千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处). Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.
Baidu shares 69% search engine market in China. Similar, Naver shares 77% in South Korea. jp.yahoo.com shares 90% in Japanese.
