When to Use Web Search
Web search is particularly useful for:- Current events — News, recent developments, and real-time information
- Recent data — Statistics, prices, or data that changes frequently
- Fact-checking — Verifying claims against up-to-date sources
- Research — Finding specific information that may not be in the model’s training data
Web search may slightly increase response time as the model needs to search and process web results before responding.
