We’re excited to share news of a new product our partners over at Google Cloud just announced, Vertex AI Search! If you use the Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API we believe this product is likely a good fit for you.
Vertex AI Search allows you to set up and deploy a Google-grade site search engine in minutes at a competitive price. In addition to the basic search experience, Vertex AI Search provides an advanced option, which includes:
- Gen AI features: Summarization & Follow ups
- Improved latency & site coverage
- Reverse Image Search
- Access to search in Vertex AI LLM extensions
Because we believe Vertex AI Search best serves the needs of site restricted search use cases, we are no longer receiving new customers for the Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API. This has no effect on existing customers.
If you are interested in moving from the Custom Search Site Restricted JSON API to Vertex AI Search, you can find transition guidance here.
