Search the web, the Lens index and your own documents in one place.
Smart Search returns ranked source and document results, not a written answer. You see where each result came from, how it ranks and why, then open the ones that matter.
The board approved the measure in a 9 to 2 vote, with the two dissenting directors citing the timeline rather than the terms.
Enterprise search that shows its sources.
Point one query at the open web, the Lens index and the documents your team has uploaded. Results come back ranked and grouped by where they came from, with the passage attached. No model writes over the top of them.
Pick what you search across.
An Index selector, not a model picker. Turn each source on or off per query.

Ranked on what the source says, not who paid to rank.
Web search sorts for speed and relevance, tilted by ad spend, brand image and hidden ownership ties. Smart Search reads the document instead. Single-owner sources collapse into one voice, repeats count once and what remains is ranked on what the source actually says.
Ranking reflects the content of the document, not keyword overlap with your query.
The same story across forty outlets does not crowd out forty different views.
Sources under one owner fold together so the count reflects distinct voices.

What happens when you search.
Four steps run between the query and the ranked list. No result skips them.
Questions about Smart Search.
Does Smart Search write an answer?
No. It returns ranked source and document results with the passage attached. You read the sources and decide. Chat is the surface that generates an answer.
How is this different from Chat?
Smart Search has an Index selector, not a model picker, and never generates text. Chat runs on a model you pick and writes an answer grounded in the Indexes you choose.
Are results ranked or just listed?
Ranked. Duplicates and single-owner sources collapse into one, then what remains is ordered on what the source actually says.
What can I search across?
The open web, the Lens index and your own uploaded documents, on or off per query.
