Search Engine
The Search Engine,[a] referred to in the game's manual as simply Search,[b] is an in-game lore compendium in the Japanese version of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. In-universe, it is powered by Peek-a-boom, a glossary lookup application included in Data Swallow. As the player progresses through the game, Search Engine entries are unlocked that provide more context on the organizations, characters, and terminology the player encounters.
Unlocks
Entries are unlocked immediately before playing the listed mission. Some entries can be unlocked by more than one mission. For example, the "Antlion" entry unlocks when the player is in the menu before the briefing for either "Reaching for Stars" or "Technology Transfer", whichever they play first. The only entry that is not unlocked by a mission is "P.I.G.", which is unlocked by witnessing all five endings.
