Im surprised but many reports say people have started using it as a search engine and wonder if it’ll do any good

Yes. It will beat Google and YouTube very soon.

Considering that the Chinese TikTok app sniffs all your device data, I would not like to use it as a search engine.

I think Google is also playing with your data already.

Of course, Google was the first to collect and analyze your Android data.
Just connect your Android device via USB to Android Studio (or similar solutions) and watch your logcat.
But at least Google has to follow strict privacy regulations (e. g. at the EU, USA). China doesn't care.
no, China repect everyone privacy, too. man

So why TikTok collects data of my private directory folders and analyzes them?

I use some apps as visual / image search engines. Much better than Google.
Yeah, definitely growth in tiktok as a search engine. This is not new, people under 40 have been using social media to find information for more than a decade. As the younger generation relates to the internet primarily through their phone and apps, the less they will search for information using traditional search engines like google. If you hunt around in tiktok, you can find several search functions exist. They're also starting to interject quora answers into tiktok search results.
If you're only thinking about seo as ranking in google serps, you're potentially missing a large volume of overall searches in a market where very few people are thinking about seo practices.

If this really truth, government will already punish it much sooner and much harder than you think, you know, tiktok will not do it to give the excuses to government, so relax.

It is. And is going to be like FB in 2017, printing money easily.

Lmao tiktok is pushing the search function but i really wonder if it works or not. Technically, users go to tiktok to watch some interesting creatives and even if they search smth, they will click on random creatives that seem eye-catching, not because the keywords showed

It's a flexible platform with many ways to monetize it. In my opinion, Tik Tok's potential has surpassed Facebook or YouTube.
