Google recently sunset the Custom Search Engine site-restrict API and suggests the new vertex search AI API as a replacement.
CSE had many features of Google search. Unfortunately with vertex AI, the search capabilities are very poorly documented.
Is there any way to ensure that vertex AI website search results are sorted by time relevancy? I’ve seen no documentation that this capability even exists but it seems like a core search functionality, especially for something meant to replace CSE.
The transition from Google's Custom Search Engine (CSE) to Vertex AI can indeed be challenging, especially when features like sorting search results by time relevancy are not explicitly documented. As of the last update, Vertex AI didn't have direct documentation specifying a time-based sorting feature for website search.
