What it is
Our note
Rebranded from Vertex AI Search, Agent Search is Google's answer for grounding agents on structured and unstructured enterprise data, offering both a turnkey system and DIY grounding APIs. It also supplies the reranking API that RAG Engine calls, so the two entries are two surfaces of one retrieval stack.
