Agentic search
Search run by an agent as a loop: it writes a query, reads the actual pages that come back, judges whether they answer the question, and searches again until they do. Usually means the live web, where RAG usually means a fixed set of your own documents.
“Agentic search went three rounds deep before it found the 2026 version of the regulation.”
