A search query is a sub-question that an AI assistant internally issues to a search engine, such as Google or Bing, while it answers one of your prompts. Search queries show you the keywords AI is actually searching for on your behalf, which is often not the same wording you used in the prompt.

Prompts versus search queries

The difference matters:
  • A prompt is what you define. It is the question you want to track.
  • A search query is what the AI actually searched to answer that prompt.
One prompt can spawn many search queries, because the assistant rephrases and breaks your question into several searches. Reading the search queries tells you which keywords are worth winning.

The search queries page

The page opens with KPIs for queries tracked, topics covered, and your top platform. Below that, search queries are grouped by topic, with an Unclustered group for queries that do not fit a topic yet. You can:
  • Sort by most generated, most queries, or most recent.
  • Expand or collapse all groups at once.
  • Copy a query to reuse it elsewhere.

Query detail

Open a search query to see:
  • A generations over time timeline showing when it was issued.
  • The platforms that issued it.
  • The source prompts it came from.

Scoped views

You do not have to read every search query at once. You can also view search queries scoped to a single prompt or to a single citation, which keeps you focused on the answer you are investigating.
