The record

Purpose: Agent Search, formerly Vertex AI Search, builds AI-enabled search and recommendation experiences for public websites and mobile applications.
Data coverage: It supports search and retrieval-augmented generation across websites, unstructured documents, and structured data.
Search features: Out-of-the-box capabilities include natural-language understanding, semantic search, synonym understanding, spell correction, and auto-suggest.
Generative answers: It can generate answers grounded in indexed data with citations and support follow-up questions.
Document processing: Its parsers handle unstructured formats such as PDF, HTML, and TXT, and its search widget can be embedded in websites.
Data sources: Supported sources include websites, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Sites, Google Calendar, Google Groups, Cloud SQL, Spanner, Firestore, Bigtable, and AlloyDB for PostgreSQL.
Integrations: The custom search documentation describes ingestion through Cloud Storage and BigQuery or through the REST API.
Industry use cases: Google describes specialized tuning for commerce catalogs, media libraries, and clinical data repositories.
Pricing models: Search applications and associated data stores use either general pay-as-you-go pricing or configurable monthly subscription pricing, and a configurable data store can only be used by an app on configurable pricing.
Free trial limit: The pricing page offers 10,000 queries per account per month at no cost to explore Agent Search, excluding Advanced Generative Answers.
Security and compliance: Google Cloud publishes compliance mappings and reports and states that it undergoes independent verification for certifications, attestations, and audit reports.
Support: The documentation page links to Google Cloud Support, community forums, release notes, and system status.
Price from: $1.50/mo
