GLM Search Pro (Quark)

zhipuzhipu/search-pro-quark

Quark-sourced search — Alibaba's index, strong on commerce & lifestyle.

search-pro-quark routes through Alibaba's Quark search index. Quark performs particularly well on commerce, lifestyle, health, education, and technology queries inside the Chinese internet, surfacing different rankings than Sogou for the same query.

If you're building an assistant for Chinese consumer-facing topics — shopping, travel, health, gadgets — Quark often returns more practical results than the general-purpose engines.

Quark index
Alibaba's mobile-first search index with strong commerce, lifestyle, and education coverage.
Different ranking
Returns a different result set than search-pro-sogou for the same query — combine both to widen recall.
Same envelope
Same OpenAI-compatible response shape — swap the model ID, nothing else.
When to use
Consumer-facing Chinese queries: shopping recommendations, travel research, health questions, product reviews, education content.
When not to use
Hard-news or regulatory queries — search-pro-sogou's index has stronger newsroom coverage.
