"Perplexity is different from Google It's not just a search bar, it's a knowledge engine When you search for something on Google, you're usually greeted with a page full of search results and often an AI overview. From this point onwards, it falls on you to decide which results are worth your time and contain the information you need. Google usually does a pretty good job of ranking the right pages higher up,"
"Perplexity does way more. When you ask it something, instead of simply pointing you to where the information might be, it goes out, reads everything, and comes back with a clear and often well-cited answer. You can get far more detailed reports based on your prompt and whether you're using some of Perplexity's fancier features. The difference is clear. Google is a search engine that points you to where the information you seek might be."
Perplexity operates as a knowledge engine that synthesizes information and provides clear, cited answers instead of merely listing links. It supports building projects and conducting deep research, producing detailed reports tailored to prompts and advanced features. The Pro Search mode understands queries, asks follow-up questions when required, and delivers more comprehensive responses. Perplexity reads multiple sources, consolidates findings, and supplies source links as references. Google typically provides ranked search results and leaves selection and synthesis to the user, while Perplexity performs the reading and synthesis to present consolidated information directly.
