New framework LongSearchEval assesses LLM web search capabilities

Researchers have introduced LongSearchEval, a new framework designed to evaluate the long-horizon web search capabilities of large language models (LLMs). This framework utilizes a trajectory-aware agent protocol to collect and analyze real interaction traces, enabling more accurate behavioral assessment and fine-grained error localization compared to existing methods. LongSearchEval was used to evaluate 16 models across eight families on 100 tasks, resulting in 1,600 retained runs and over 6,500 automatically flagged failure nodes, with human validation confirming high agreement on labels and feature correspondence.
