Web Search
Research Faster with AI Search. Ask complex questions and get structured, AI-analyzed summaries with clear source citations instead of digging through pages of raw search results.
How It Works
The AI Search feature combines web searching with AI analysis:
- Your query is sent to a search engine to find relevant web pages
- The app fetches and extracts content from the top results
- Your local AI model analyzes and synthesizes the information
- You receive a structured, coherent summary with source citations
Web search requires an internet connection to fetch search results. However, the AI analysis of those results happens entirely on your device.
Using Web Search
- Navigate to AI Search
Tap the AI Search tab in the sidebar or navigation bar.
- Enter your query
Type a question or topic. Natural language works best — ask questions as you would ask a person.
- Review the results
The AI presents a synthesized answer with citations to the source web pages.
Source References
Each web search result includes references to the original sources. You can:
- Click source links to open the original web pages
- See which parts of the answer came from which sources
- Verify information by checking the original content
Tool Calling Integration
In regular AI Chat, models that support tool calling can automatically trigger web searches when they need current information. This means you don't have to switch to the Search tab — the AI decides when it needs to look something up.
See AI Chat → Tool Calling for more details.
