Quick Search vs Pro Search

Our Quick Search option is for fast and accurate answers backed by sources. It’s perfect for when you’re looking for quick, efficient information.

That’s where the newly upgraded Pro Search comes in. It delivers even greater depth, precision, and comprehensive insights. Simply click the Pro toggle in the search bar, ask a question, and watch Perplexity explore every facet of your query with improved accuracy.
