AI search
Search experiences in which a model retrieves information and composes an answer, often with cited sources.
Updated
AI search describes search experiences where a language model, usually combined with a retrieval system, composes an answer to a query instead of only listing documents.
Typical steps are query interpretation, retrieval of candidate sources, ranking or filtering of passages, synthesis of an answer, and optional attribution to sources.
Because synthesis happens after retrieval, an organisation can be retrieved and still not be mentioned, or be mentioned without being cited.
