Under the supervision of John Giannandrea, a former Google executive and the current head of AI at Apple, a &#8220;large search team&#8221; has been formed to develop the search engine codenamed Pegasus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Pegasus isn&#8217;t intended to directly compete with Google Search in the global web search arena, Apple has immediate plans for this engine. Soon, Pegasus will become <strong>the fundamental backbone of search in the App Store<\/strong>, a significant source of revenue for Apple. The move might seem minor compared to indexing the entire web, but it&#8217;s a significant step, demonstrating the importance Apple is placing on the world of search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When combined with the fact that <strong>Apple is already indexing the internet to power<\/strong> search results for Siri and Spotlight, we might be witnessing the birth of Apple&#8217;s search engine. The one that has been referred to for years under the original name iSearch could soon become a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why would Apple want to venture into online searches? Having its own search engine would allow Apple to <strong>further enhance integration and the user experience within its ecosystem<\/strong>, taking a step closer to its vision of a fully integrated technological ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If we are already using Apple&#8217;s search system in apps like Photos, Spotlight, and soon in the App Store, there might come a time when we use it to browse the internet as well.
