A new research paper introduces Fetch-then-Explore, a novel approach for search agents that decouples page selection from evidence extraction. Unlike existing methods that tie a page's content to the moment it's opened or only use snippets, Fetch-then-Explore stores selected pages in a persistent workspace on the filesystem. This allows agents to revisit pages and extract information on demand, accumulating evidence across multiple search turns and improving accuracy on benchmarks like BrowseComp and WideSearch. AI
IMPACT This method could improve the efficiency and accuracy of search agents by allowing them to revisit and re-evaluate information more effectively.
