    Web Search

    Viro Search is a regular web search inside Viro: you get a page of results to browse yourself, with an optional AI Overview at the top. Use it when you want links rather than a chat answer.

    • From the home screen or a project: type your search, then select + > Web search. Viro Search opens with your results.
    • Inside a chat: switch the toggle at the top from AI Chat to Web Search, or select + > Web search. Results appear in the chat.

    You need a Viro account to search.

    What is AI Overview?

    A short AI summary of your topic above the results, with Show more for the full version. It's on by default. Use the AI Overview On/Off button to turn it off. Summaries can miss context, so check the sources for anything important.
