It's in the title. 識圖 even though the pinyin is not that pleasant to people who knows English, Baidu is a Chinese search engine and most of the users are Chinese speaking users. Furthermore, as a Chinese speaking person I can well make fun of it by saying "shxt" every time the engine spits out the right image!

Well, to be fair, Baidu is going to use simplified characters, not traditional ones, given their mainland focus.

Yes I am aware of that. I just happen to be a Traditional Chinese writer :D but either writing system shouldn't matter.
