Hi @tonyyap,

It can if you connect a web search action. That can be in the form of Google Search action, or if you create a custom action that performs web searches via the Perplexity API, for example.

There is a search function. Go to the **Act** tab and then connect the **Google Search Action**.

Importantly, forms only run _one query_. Whereas a chatbot is a constant back-and-forth. So it’s important to write the prompt in a way where the Form where always run the Search.
