+## 👀 About MMSearch
+
+The capabilities of **Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs)** in **multimodal search** remain insufficiently explored and evaluated. To fill the blank of a framework for LMM to conduct multimodal AI search engine, we first design a delicate pipeline **MMSearch-Engine** to facilitate **any LMM** to function as a multimodal AI search engine

+    The overview of <b>MMSearch-Engine</b>.
+</p>
+
+To further evaluate the potential of LMMs in the multimodal search domain, we introduce **MMSearch**, an all-around multimodal search benchmark designed for assessing the multimodal search performance. The benchmark contains 300 manually collected instances spanning 14 subfields, which involves no overlap with the current LMMs' training data, ensuring the correct answer can only be obtained within searching.

+    The overview of <b>MMSearch</b>.
+</p>
+
+In addition, we propose a **step-wise evaluation strategy** to better understand the LMMs' searching capability. The models are evaluated by performing **three individual tasks (requery, rerank, and summarization)**, and **one challenging end-to-end task** with a complete searching process. The final score is weighted by the four tasks.
