# Live web search

> Search the web or a specific site via a search engine for up-to-date information

Live web search enables the AI Agent to search websites via a search engine in
real time. This capability is ideal for finding the most up-to-date information
across the web or across large websites.

Searches can be unrestricted or limited to specified websites if needed.

* **Best for:**
  * Large websites with many pages that can't be fully imported.
  * Searching for general information across the internet.
* **Limitations:** It relies on the search engine's indexing and search
  algorithms.
