Definition
Emerging Search ConceptsAgentic search is a search paradigm where AI agents autonomously perform searches, evaluate sources, and synthesize information on behalf of users. Unlike traditional search where users actively query and click, agentic search delegates the search process to an AI agent. This represents a potential shift from user-driven to agent-driven discovery.
