There are three versions of Search Answers. - Search Answers extracts the most relevant snippets from the standard Knowledge object to answer your user’s question but doesn’t generate responses. - AI-Generated Search Answers uses large language models (LLMs) to generate responses to user questions from the standard Knowledge object. - AI-Generated Search Answers from Data Cloud sources uses LLMs to generate responses to user questions from the DMOs and DMO fields that you select. Here’s an example of an answer card for an AI-generated answer. You see (1) the question that was asked in the global search bar, (2) the generated answer from multiple sources, (3) the option to share feedback on the answer using the Yes or No buttons, and (4) the source articles from where the information was gathered. Users can also share additional feedback when they click the thumbs-down button. User feedback is shared only with Salesforce to improve the user experience. ![The image shows an example answer card from an experience site highlighting the various parts of the card.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ai-search-264-0-0-production-enus/6a28c936-3b68-4186-bc09-7ab905f33ef3/search/images/search_answers_example_card.png) - **[Search Answers Requirements and Considerations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_ai_search_answers_ref.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Standard Search Answers, AI-Generated Search Answers, and AI-Generated Search Answers from Data Cloud sources have different requirements and capabilities. - **[Enable Search Answers or AI-Generated Search Answers](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_es_enable_search_answers.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Search Answers gets the most relevant snippets from your data sources, and AI-generated Search Answers uses knowledge articles and other sources to generate tailored responses to user questions.
