Glossary
AI search engine
A tool that answers your question with written text and links to the pages each fact comes from, instead of a plain list of results.
Example
Perplexity or Google’s AI Mode.
Where you’ll see it
In Google’s AI summaries, ChatGPT search or Copilot: the answer arrives written up, with links to sources.
Common mistake
Taking the summary at face value without opening the sources. It can mix data from different pages.
