That does not match my experience at all. Basically any Gemini query will run a search.


Which interface are you using for it? I use the gemini.google.com one and most of the time instead of searching it at most pretends to search and hallucinates the result.


Are you telling it to cite sources? I find that doing that helps a lot - sometimes it presents the same result multiple times with a slightly different summary each time, but at least it doesn't outright invent stuff.

I can explicitly tell it to search and it won't.
