Claude and Claude Code Show Different Search Behaviours, Data Finds
New data shows that Anthropic's Claude and Claude Code search the web at different rates, mention different brands, and send their agents to different types of pages. The findings come from an analysis of search patterns across the two AI systems.
The research indicates that Claude Code, the coding-focused variant, rarely searches the web compared to the standard Claude model. This difference in behaviour could affect how brands are cited in AI-generated answers, depending on which system is used.
