Gemini 2.5 Pro is also capable of search as part of its chain of thought but it needs light prodding to show URLs, but it'll do so and is good at it.
Unrelated point, but I'm going to keep saying this anywhere Google engineers may be reading, the main problem with Gemini is their horrendous web app riddled with 5 annoying bugs that I identified as a casual user after a week. I assume it's in such a bad state because they don't actually use the app and they use the API, but come on. You solved the hard problem of making the world's best overall model but are squandering it on the world's worst user interface.
There must be some form of memory leak in AI Studio as I'll have to close and open a new tab after about 2 hours as it slowly grinds my slower computers to a halt. Its ability to create a markdown file without escaping the markdown itself (included code snippets) is definitely my first suggestion for them to fix.
