Huawei’s Petal Search: 5 Key Differences with Google Search

Huawei has been busy developing its Harmony operating system, including a new maps product (I wrote about that here) and a whole new search engine (I wrote about that here).

There is a slowly growing consensus that Google has taken its eye off the search ball, but it does still dominate the industry. Niche upstarts (like You.com, which I wrote about here) are different; just not different — or rich — enough to stake a challenge.

Maybe Huawei has a better shot?
