AI Search vs Now Assist (Virtual Agent) – Do KB Restrictions Need Separate Configuration?

[namanajain]

If I restrict certain Knowledge Bases in Now Assist (Virtual Agent configuration / grounding sources):

👉 Will those restrictions automatically apply to AI Search as well?
👉 Or do I need to configure restrictions separately in AI Search (Search Sources / Profiles)?

Although the UI looks unified (search bar changes when Now Assist is enabled), I want to confirm whether both systems:

• Share the same content filtering
  or
• Require independent configuration beyond ACLs/User Criteria
