We’ve gotten a number of questions about our awesome native web search capabilities, so I thought I’d give a little explanation. Simply **check the web browsing box** in the builder, and search will be enabled! ![Screenshot 2024-07-10 at 10.22.15 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/1X/f1458b6e53d2eab6339a5b27e4baf971c4e6fd56.png) Now your bot should be able to browse the internet! In your prompt, you can give it all kinds of instructions about how or when to do this. Give it a try! ---

I’m a new user and wrote a prompt calling for the AI to list several clickable web links as resources for the rest of the output. The links it produced were not real. So I rewrote that to tell it to “list several actual and clickable web links that you find by browsing the web.” That produced real links. ---

If I tell the bot to go to a url it should go to it then? ---

This is a fantastic anecdote of how to use web-browsing to improve results. You’re right on the money to suggest that giving the AI chatbot extra instructions will improve its behavior! ---

Just an update that we’ve moved things around a bit. Now you can turn on web browsing by turning on the google search action in the act tab. ![Screenshot 2024-10-27 at 1.51.18 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex004/uploads/pickaxeproject/original/2X/c/c8bcff4a9a5774f4e7b322c32e0ed65f835fe3b1.png) ---

Moving things around a bit but it create one little big problem for ■■■■■■■ LTD users. Because when searching the web feature is turned to be an “ACTION”, ■■■■■■■ LTD users will face a big problem because we can use only 1 or 2 Action per Pickaxe. Am I understand the sitation correctly? ---

Yes! We had previously been offering web search with no limitations, but as it costs us money to provide, we decided to move it.
