## Overview

Sogou Weixin adds Chinese-language WeChat Official Account discovery through the public Sogou WeChat search results page. It is useful when the query needs Chinese-native tutorials, industry analysis, practitioner writeups, or business commentary that often appears first on public account articles rather than English-language web search surfaces.

## Known Quirks

- The HTML structure is scraped directly and may change without notice.
- Result links can be Sogou redirect URLs such as `weixin.sogou.com/link?url=...` instead of direct article URLs.
- Rate limits stay intentionally strict because aggressive scraping can trigger a `302` captcha flow.

# Quality Bar

- Evidence items have non-empty title and url.
- No crash on empty or malformed API response.
- Source channel field matches the channel name.
