Does Search+ show where an answer came from?

Yes. Search+ answers include inline citations that point to the source document and the supporting excerpt, and you can open a citation to read it. Page or section references appear when the document provides them.

Citations are attached to the parts of the answer they support, not listed at the end. Open one to read the excerpt from your document that the statement is based on.

Search+ does not invent page or section locations that the document does not contain. If a PDF has no usable page or heading information for a passage, the citation still names the document and shows the excerpt.

Based on how citations are built and displayed in Search+, October 2026.

Does Search+ make up citations?
Search+ citations point to passages it retrieved from your own documents, and it does not invent page or section locations that a document does not contain.
Can Search+ give a wrong answer?
Yes. AI-generated answers can be incomplete or inaccurate, and Search+ does not guarantee that any answer is correct or complete.
Can Search+ answer questions across multiple PDFs?
Yes. Ask a question at the workspace level and Search+ draws on every document in that workspace, with a citation for each source it uses.
Does Search+ only match exact keywords?
No. Search+ finds relevant passages by meaning, not only by the exact words, within the workspace or single document you choose.
