      What happens if I search the URL for a recent page of mine (not yet indexed/searchable on Google) on a generative search site? Is the page indexed or retrieved? What does it say? This is a search for a page written one day ago.

      • Bing, Perplexity AI, and Phind Search all retrieve and engage with the website.
      • You.com redirects to the URL.
      • Andi returns results from its index (similar to many of the non-generative search sites).
      • Metaphor Systems seems to return results based off the text in the URL.
