A bookmarklet that shows the Google searches Gemini runs behind the scenes for a chat plus every source it cited, live once the answer is stored or on a saved chat. Read-only.
Live and saved chats. Gemini reveals its searches only once the answer is saved, so the panel fills when the answer finishes rather than word by word. It shows two things Gemini keeps out of the interface: the search queries it sent to Google plus every source it cited, with how much of the answer each one backs. Gemini does not expose the pages it read and dropped, a freshness window or a site limit, so those columns from the ChatGPT and Claude tools are not here.
Recommended: Drag this button to your bookmarks bar (Cmd+Shift+B on a Mac or Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows shows the bar), then click it on a gemini.google.com chat:
Or copy this and paste it as the URL of a new bookmark (bookmark any page, right-click it, Edit):
Gemini blocks code loaded from other sites, so unlike the ChatGPT and Claude bookmarklets there is no short auto-updating version here: The whole tool sits inside this one bookmark. It is about 20KB, which some drags and pastes on Windows do not survive, so if the drag does not take, use the copy button and the paste route. The same code is on GitHub at github.com/oritsimu-new/fanout-explorer as gemini-fanout-explorer.bookmarklet.txt.
javascript:. If it is empty, short, or the address of this page, the drag did not take: Use the copy button and paste the code as the bookmark URL.chrome://policy or edge://policy and look for javascript://* under URLBlocklist. A personal browser profile gets around it.allow pasting the first time.There is one of these for each assistant plus a single page with all three: Fanout Explorer, all three. The code for all of them is on GitHub at github.com/oritsimu-new/fanout-explorer.
Send a link to this page or the all-three page. It works in Chrome, Edge or Brave, on gemini.google.com (not the app), logged in, on your own chats.
