What is Arc Search?

Arc Search is a mobile search app from The Browser Company, the team behind the Arc browser. Its signature feature is Browse for Me: instead of ten links it reads several pages and assembles a single formatted page that answers the question, with sections and links to the sources it used. Alongside that it offers AI summaries of individual pages, a private mode that clears data when a session ends, and ordinary browsing conveniences such as tab archiving and ad blocking. It is a phone-first product, so the value shows up in how quickly a question turns into something readable rather than in desktop power features.

FAQ

What does Browse for Me actually do?

It runs several searches, opens the most relevant pages, reads them and writes one structured page that answers the query, with links to everything it used. You can then open a source or ask a follow-up question.

Is my search history stored?

The app is designed for private searching, and private mode clears data when the session ends. As with any hosted service, the current privacy policy is the reliable place to confirm what is retained and for how long.

Can I use it on a computer?

The search app is built for phones. The company's desktop browser is a separate product with its own feature set, so the Browse for Me experience remains largely a mobile one.
