I’m not surprised by Google’s lack of search transparency. If Google told users that Google was searching an internal database linked to a particular search string there would be pitchforks and torches.

I highly doubt they are doing that. If the quality is good then presumably it's also not the direct output of an LLM with RAG tool use.

I'd guess it might be more of a structured/agentic approach - maybe having learnt how to map "search" strings to relevant data retrieval queries, then combining/summarizing the returned results.

No one cares, they are busy watching tik tok style videos and rotting their children's brains.

I assumed all of the labs were already doing something like this to cut down on costs

Isn't that just... caching
