via “optional zero-data-retention with automatic query purging”

AI search with modes — Research, Smart, Create, Genius for different query types.

Unique: Offers optional zero-retention mode for automatic query and data purging, differentiating from competitors like Google Custom Search or Bing Search API that retain query logs for analytics. Activation mechanism and default retention policy are not documented, creating uncertainty around privacy guarantees.

vs others: More privacy-friendly than Google Search API (which retains queries for analytics) or Bing Search API (which logs queries); comparable to DuckDuckGo's privacy stance, though DuckDuckGo's retention policy is more transparently documented.

via “enterprise custom indexing and zero-data-retention compliance”

Language model powered search.

Unique: Offers Zero Data Retention (ZDR) option where queries and results are automatically purged post-processing, enabling compliance with strict data privacy regulations. Custom indexes allow enterprises to search proprietary data sources without exposing them to public web index.

vs others: Unique among search APIs in offering explicit ZDR compliance option; most competitors (Google, Bing, Perplexity) retain query data for analytics. Custom indexing enables private data search without building separate infrastructure.
