AI Search
AI Search with Openable Sources — First Research Run Free, No Card
Ask a question and get a synthesized answer built from a live web search — not a page of blue links, not training memory. Runs in Telegram via Findiana Jones (@vustSearchBot): no extra apps. Three modes, from a quick lookup to multi-step research.
Cited Sources
How do I find answers with cited sources using AI search?
Open @vustSearchBot in Telegram and pick the Research mode. It runs several search and page-read steps behind one question, then returns a synthesized answer carrying numbered [N] markers (the excerpt below shows [1] and [2]) plus a Sources list of the real pages behind each claim, so you can open them before you reuse anything. Quick and Standard drop the inline [N] markers for speed — you still get the source list; only Research ties each claim to a numbered source.
Checklist for a source-backed answer
| Step | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open @vustSearchBot and choose the Research mode |
| 2 | Ask one clear question, naming the entity and year |
| 3 | Read the [N] markers, then open the Sources list |
| 4 | Open 2–3 linked pages and check they support the claim |
Excerpt from a real Research-mode answer (condensed; sources renumbered)
Query: “How does the EU AI Act classify high-risk AI systems?” — Research mode, captured September 4, 2026
EU AI Act classification is primarily use-case based, not technology based. An AI system is high-risk if it is either embedded in, or itself constitutes, a regulated product requiring third-party safety assessment, or if it is used in one of the high-impact areas listed in Annex III. According to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 [1], both conditions — use as a safety component and a required third-party conformity assessment — must be satisfied for that route. Annex III systems may escape the classification in limited circumstances, but profiling of natural persons always makes an Annex III system high-risk. The European Commission also publishes practical guidance on its high-risk AI systems page [2].

Search modes
Three modes — pick the one that fits your question
Quick and Standard send a single query and return a synthesized answer without inline [N] markers — the source list is still there. Research runs several sub-queries and returns numbered markers with openable links.
See the difference
Real questions, real answers. Each tier goes deeper.
What people actually use it for.
- Researcher
- Fact-check a claim
- Research mode answers with numbered markers and openable sources.
- Support engineer
- Trace an API change
- Quick or Research mode depending on how much context you need.
- Shopper
- Compare product categories
- A synthesized comparison; pick Research when you want the links behind it.
Three steps in Telegram.
- 01
Open SearchBot
Start a chat with @vustSearchBot — search runs in Telegram, not on this page.
- 02
Pick a mode
Quick, Standard or Research — depth scales with the question.
- 03
Read & refine
Open the sources on Research, then ask follow-ups in the same thread.
SearchBot is where search runs — cited answers in chat.
Three depth modes, follow-ups, inside Telegram.
Built for clarity, not hype.
Where the answer comes from
Every mode searches the live web at query time rather than answering from training memory.
Modes
Quick and Standard return a synthesized answer without inline [N] markers, though the source list is still one tap away. Research returns numbered [N] markers with openable links.
Privacy
Queries are summarized in logs — raw text stays out of admin surfaces.
Frequently asked questions
What are the search modes?
Three, trading speed against depth. Quick and Standard send a single query and return a synthesized answer without inline [N] markers. Research runs several sub-queries and synthesizes them into one answer with numbered [N] markers and openable source links.
Which modes actually show sources?
All three modes can show a Sources button when the answer has web results behind it. Research goes further and ties each claim to a numbered [N] marker in the text; Quick and Standard drop those inline markers — they are the fast lookups. We would rather say that plainly than advertise inline citations on a tier that does not return them.
How is this different from Google or ChatGPT?
Unlike Google, you get a synthesized answer rather than a page of links. Unlike a chat model answering from training memory, the answer is built from a live web search — and on Research you can open the sources behind it and check them yourself.
Is it free?
Your first Research run is free. After that you keep going with a vust plan — no per-query price screen, no confirm step to click through. A search that fails costs nothing.
Do I need any extra apps or a foreign card?
No. It runs inside Telegram via @vustSearchBot — no extra apps, no foreign card, no separate signup. This is the main reason people in card-restricted regions use it.
Why is it called Findiana Jones?
Find plus Indiana Jones: an explorer who digs through the live web and comes back with the answer and its sources.
