Web Search
Web Search enables Chat Video Pro to access current information from the internet, providing up-to-date answers and real-time data.
Web Search allows the AI assistant to:
Search the web for current information
Access recent data, not in training data
Find current events and news
Get up-to-date documentation and guides
Answer questions requiring real-time information
Internet connection - Active connection required
Automatic Web Search
The AI automatically uses web search when:
Question requires current data - Recent events, current prices, etc.
Training data is outdated - Information that changes frequently
Specific websites needed - Links to current documentation
Real-time information - Stock prices, weather, news, etc.
Manual Web Search

Examples:
"Search the web for Premiere Pro 2024 new features"

Tips for Best Results
Be specific - More specific queries get better results
Request explicitly - Say "search the web" if you want current info
Check links - AI provides sources, verify if needed
Combine with chat - Ask follow-up questions after search
Use for current data - Best for information that changes
What Web Search Can't Do
Access paid content - Can't bypass paywalls
Private information - Can't access private accounts
Real-time streaming - Not for live data streams
Interactive sites - Can't interact with web apps
Accuracy Considerations
Verify important information - Check sources provided
Multiple sources - AI may cite different sources
May be outdated - Some information changes quickly
Use judgment - Verify critical information independently
