Sonar Pro Search

A mode on Sonar Pro, not a separate model. It plans a route through your question, reads its way across the web, then answers with sources.

[ Overview ]

Meet Sonar Pro Search.

Sonar Pro Search is a mode on Sonar Pro rather than a separate model, and it is for the research question one search will not answer. Consultants, agencies and strategists use it when they need to gather the same detail across a dozen sources and come back with something defensible.

Ask it to compare five competitors on pricing, positioning and audience, and it will work through each one and show you where it looked. Trace how a story or a trend developed over months. Check a claim that lives across several pages before you put it in a client deck. Build the background research for a pitch without opening thirty tabs yourself.

Because it is a mode on Sonar Pro, it is the same model doing more work: it plans, searches, reads pages and adapts as it learns, which makes it slower than a plain Sonar Pro answer by design. For a straight cited answer, use Sonar Pro. For a full written report, Sonar Deep Research goes further. Everything is included with HiggsChat on one subscription.
