Live web search and sources

Search the web from a conversation and review citations alongside the answer.

A citation counts as supported only when its quote is found in the page text that was actually retrieved.

Diagram as text

You ask a question in a chat with grounded search on.
ZeroLog searches its own index and fetches pages that you or the model name directly.
Each fetch follows your account's outbound-network rules; every redirect is checked again, internal addresses are refused, and a page over 2 MiB or a fetch over 20 seconds fails.
The page text is kept as a snapshot for your chat. It is not added to the shared search index.
The model answers with exact quotes of at most 25 words.
Each quote of at least 12 characters is compared with the retrieved text, ignoring case and whitespace.
Found: the citation is supported. Not found, or the page could not be read: it is flagged as unsupported with the reason.

Grounded web search retrieves current pages and checks that cited quotations match their source text.

Direct web retrieval: Searches ZeroLog's own index and fetches pages you or the model name directly. Results depend on what could be retrieved.
Guarded fetching: A fetch follows your account's outbound-network rules. Every redirect is checked again (at most three), internal and private addresses are refused, and a page over 2 MiB or a fetch over 20 seconds fails. A failed page is recorded with its reason instead of being hidden.
Your snapshots stay yours: A fetched page is kept as a snapshot for your chat. Pages fetched for you are not added to the shared search index.
Supported citations: A citation is marked supported only if its quote (at least 12 characters) appears in the page text we retrieved (ignoring case and whitespace differences). A quote that does not appear is flagged as unsupported.

Search results and citations depend on the sources available at the time of the request. Review cited pages before relying on a result.
