What are custom web sources?
Custom web sources allow you to tailor your search experience by specifying which websites you want to search through within a Perplexity Space. Instead of searching the entire web, you can focus on specific sources that are most relevant to your needs.
You can use custom web sources in two ways:
Exclusive Search: Search only within your specified websites
Prioritized Search: Focus on your chosen websites while still including relevant results from the broader web when helpful
How do I add web sources?
To add sources, click "Choose Sources" in the search box, then select Links. You can add one link at a time in the source field.
How do I have Perplexity search only links and files I provided and not the rest of the web?
In your space, click Sources, and unselect Web.
Is there a limit to how many link sources I can add?
Free users can add up to five items total between links and files (e.g., three links and two files, or five links and no files)
Perplexity Pro and Enterprise Pro users can add up to 10 links
What type of web sources can I add?
Currently, you can add any publicly accessible webpage or domain. This includes documentation sites, research papers, company websites, and more.
Note: While Perplexity accepts any public URL, some sources may be inaccessible for various reasons. If Perplexity cannot access a page, this will be noted in your answer.
How are titles and summaries generated for my files?
Titles and summaries are auto-generated by a language model (LLM). While helpful for a quick overview, they may contain inaccuracies. Always refer to the original document for accuracy.
Can I choose to search files, links, the web, or bothall?
Yes, you can choose your search sources. In the search bar, select:
Web for results from the web.
In the sources column on the right handside, you can add:
Files for results from your uploaded files.
Links for results from your uploaded links.
Web + Files + Links to get comprehensive results from both the web, and your files, and suggested links.
