Subscriptions replace advertising, so there are no sponsored results, affiliate links, or data sales influencing what you see.
Rank any website up or down, pin favorites, or block domains entirely so your results match your own standards.
Append a question mark to get an AI answer above the results, or chat with the Assistant for deeper tasks with sources included.
Restrict searches to categories like forums or news, or jump straight into a specific site's own search with shortcuts.
