Maybe that's a rhetorical question but just in case - the search would always be part of the harness. A model is only handling next-token prediction for a given input. That token may be something like [[web search]] to invoke a tool call but the actual call would be handled by the harness.
Yeah it was rhetorical. Search would be implemented as a tool call. Pure intelligence tests would likely have limited tools. But maybe they would have a python sandbox to solve issues like Rs in strawberry.
