See the searches AI runs for itself
When an AI model needs the web to answer, it writes its own search queries. These are those queries, word for word. They show how machines translate buyer questions into searches, so make sure your pages answer the queries the models actually run, not just the ones humans type.
Where the numbers come from
During the LLM runs that used web search, we captured every search query each model issued for this segment's questions. Counts are small by nature: a model typically runs only a handful of these searches per question.
What's on this page
A side-by-side comparison of any two models' queries, and a table of every query with the models that used it.
Compare two models' fanout queries
The exact web searches each model ran while answering FinOps Director questions. Pick a model for each column. Lists are short by nature: a model issues only a handful of searches per question.

All fanout queries
Every fanout query for this segment, with how many models used it and which ones. Overlap between models means they translated the same buyer question into the same search, a strong signal that ranking for that query matters.
