IDN-as-punycode-encoded-label in Baidu search engine results
by Tan Tanaka, Dennis Dec. 8, 2015

Dec. 8, 2015

Often times I hear that IDNs are not indexed by certain search engines. While I know this is not true, the example below doesn’t help my case either (at least not 100%). Here is an example where the IDN I’m looking for is showing up in the first 5 search results on Baidu (see picture below). However, the string is displayed as the punycode-encoded label instead of the corresponding Chinese IDN (i.e. xn--ebr05n.com) . Google and Yandex appear to work as expected. Bing didn’t display the domain name in the results (first two pages). Is there someone interested (and with the language skills) in taking the action item to reach out to Baidu? This might be in the form of opening a bug ticket to explain the problem (IDN is displayed as punycode-encoded label. Example: xn--ebr05.com) and what the expected result should have been (IDN displayed as Chinese domain nam. Example: 墨刀.com) [cid:image001.png@01D125D4.E6F49C60] Dennis Tan Sr. Product Manager Naming Services DTanTanaka(a)Verisign.com<mailto:DTanTanaka@Verisign.com> m: 571-246-7303 t: 703-948-4197 12061 Bluemont Way, Reston, VA 20190 VerisignInc.com<http://www.verisigninc.com/> [Verisign(tm)]
