System1 finds AI agents miss much of the web on a single search index
- System1 analysis found AI agents using a single search index see about half of what multiple search APIs collectively surface.
- The study ran real agent queries across seven popular search APIs, highlighting large gaps in first-page results between indexes.
- The findings suggest agents risk producing confident answers from thin results because they do not retry searches the way humans do.
