How to select web search
To use Web search, open a new chat and select a model that supports web search. You’ll see web search availability indicated by the icon in the model selector if the web search icon is greyed out, that model doesn’t support web search.


How to use web search
Web search automatically triggers when the AI detects that your prompt requires information beyond its training cutoff date. Your then prompt gets reformatted into an optimized search query, then our search model finds relevant results across the web. Once the search is complete, the model analyzes findings from multiple websites and synthesizes them into a comprehensive answer for you. The whole process happens seamlessly in the background, so you get current information without any extra steps on your end.Inspecting sources
