@johnmu.com Is AI Mode traffic now included in Search Console? (It wasn't before.)

@johnmu.com AI Overviews and AI Mode use (customised) Gemini as their internal LLM. But they are not affected by Google-Extended because they're not Gemini Apps. Is my understanding correct?

Thank you for responding!

@johnmu.com When Google's LLMs like Gemini use search results for RAG, do those search results also include information from the Knowledge Graph and Shopping Graph?

Oh, there it is! Thanks for your help!

I can't find the regex filter in my Search Console anymore. It's missing. Is it the same for you?

@johnmu.com The help page says "Only URLs with known instances of this issue are queued for recrawling, not the whole site." I understand that to mean the "Validate Fix" option makes recrawling happen faster. Am I getting that wrong?
