# Search Rankings
This page shows [Arena AI](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/search) A daily snapshot of the top 30 on the leaderboard, making it easy to quickly understand recent model performance. For the full leaderboard, filters, and latest changes, please visit the Arena AI website.
This leaderboard evaluates model performance on web-connected search / information retrieval tasks.

{% hint style="info" %}
The leaderboard reflects the preferences of specific evaluations and user votes, and does not mean a model will necessarily perform better on your task. When choosing a model, also consider price, speed, context, tool calling, privacy, and regional availability.

## How to read this table
* **Rank / rank range**: Arena AI's estimated relative ranking based on head-to-head votes; the rank range indicates fluctuations within the confidence interval.
* **Score**: Relative score, suitable for comparing models on the leaderboard at the same point in time.
* **Votes / sessions**: A reference for sample size; with fewer samples, rankings are usually more volatile.
* **Price $/million tokens**: Reference price per million tokens for input / output.
* **Context**: The maximum context length supported by the model.
## Three things to confirm again when choosing a model
1. Whether the provider actually offers this model, and whether it is available in your region and account;
2. Whether the API price, rate limits, and context are suitable for your task;
3. Run a small-scale test with 3–5 real tasks; don't look only at the overall ranking.
## Data source
Data comes from [Arena AI official search leaderboard](https://arena.ai/leaderboard/search), updated daily by GitHub Actions. For model pricing, licenses, and capabilities, please refer to the model provider's official information.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.cherryai.com.cn/docs/en-us/other/model_rank/search.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
