Claims that Meta is building its own search engine

It has been claimed that Meta is building its own web index and search engine to ensure AI web search does not rely on Google.

The claim was made public by developer Pieter Levels, who stated he received a private message from a Meta employee. The explanation is that by operating its own search system, Meta can reduce the amount of search data sent to Google during AI search processes and avoid the possibility of Google using it for training.

However, there has been no official confirmation from Meta or disclosure of specific development plans so far.
