Web search

Enable live web results for a bot. Configure allowed domains, respect plan gating, and understand how the toggle affects responses.

Availability

- Web search is gated to Advanced and Enterprise plans.

- On Starter/Pro, the toggle is disabled and shows an upgrade prompt.

How to enable
  1. Open a bot workspace → Tools tab.
  2. Toggle Allow web search.
  3. Add Allowed domains (domain-only, e.g. example.com). Leave blank to allow any domain (not recommended).
  4. Save changes.

Behavior

- When enabled, the bot can call web search during answers. Allowed domains restrict which sites the bot queries.

- If disabled or gated, the bot skips web search and relies on other tools/data.

- Domains must be entered without protocols or paths (example.com only); inputs like https:// or /path are rejected.

- Show-source toggle (Display tab) controls whether web citations are shown in chat.

Tips & troubleshooting

- Add specific domains to avoid noisy results (e.g., site.com).

- If the toggle is disabled, upgrade your plan, then reopen Tools to enable it.

- If citations are missing, enable Show source → Web in Display.
