# Web Search

UncensoredGPT can **search the internet** to find up-to-date information and then answer you using what it found. This is great for news, facts, prices, and anything that changes over time.

**Important:** the AI cannot search the web all by itself. You must **turn on the Web Search tool** in the chat first. Web Search is available on **all plans** (Free and Pro).

## Is web search available to you?

* **All plans:** yes, Web Search is included on both Free and Pro.

## How to turn on Web Search (step by step)

**1. Go to the message box** at the bottom of the chat.

**2. Find the tools / integrations menu.**

Just above or beside the message box there is a small menu with little icons. This is the **Integrations** menu, the **tools** menu, or the message-bar options.

**3. Turn on the Web Search toggle.**

Inside that menu, find the **Web Search** (or **Search**) switch and turn it **on**. It should highlight to show it is active.

**4. Type your question.**

For example:

> What is the latest news about the weather in Tokyo?

**5. Send it.**

Press **Enter** or click send. The AI will search the internet and give you an answer based on what it found.

## What to expect

* The answer may show where the information came from (its **sources** or **citations**).
* The AI uses search results to answer, so it can tell you about things that happened recently.
* If the tool is off, the AI can only answer from what it already knows, which may be out of date.

## Tips

* Turn **Web Search** on only when you need it. If you leave it on for every message, every message will search.
* If your question is about your own knowledge (like opinions or creative ideas), you can leave web search off.

## How to answer common questions

**If the user asks: "Search the web" or "Your answer is out of date"**

> I can search the internet — but you need to turn the tool on first. Open the **tools / integrations menu** next to the message box, turn on **Web Search**, then ask your question again. Web Search is included on all plans.
