How to Configure the AI Web Search Action Card

1. Locate the AI Web Search card on your canvas which includes:

   • Header with the action name (which can be renamed)

   • Variable chip in the top left corner for referencing outputs

   • Controls for expanding/collapsing, running the search, and additional options

   • Connection points for inputs and outputs

2. Configure the search query in the main input field:

   • Type your search query directly as free text

   • Use variables by clicking the '@' button to insert dynamic data

   • Combine variables with static text for more specific searches

3. The AI will automatically process search results and generate intelligent answers

How to Write Effective Search Queries

1. Be specific with your search terms to get more relevant results

2. Use clear, descriptive language that matches what you're looking for

3. Combine variables with context for dynamic searches:

   • Example: "Latest news about {{company_name}} financial performance"

   • Example: "Best practices for {{industry}} in 2025"

4. Consider the scope of your search:

   • Broad queries for general information

   • Specific queries for detailed answers

💡 Tip: The Web Search node works best when your query clearly defines what type of information you're seeking.

How to Use Variables in Search Queries

1. Using the '@' button method:

   • Click in the query field to see the '@' symbol appear

   • Click '@' to open the variables panel

   • Select the variable you want to include from the list

2. Using the advanced method:

   • Type two curly braces {{ in the query field

   • Begin typing the node name to see autocomplete options

   • Select the specific output you want to reference

3. Combining variables with text:

   • Mix variables with static text for context

   • Example: "Find competitor analysis for {{user_input}} industry"

How to Test Your AI Web Search

1. Click the play button on the AI Web Search action card to run a test

2. If using variables, ensure connected nodes have been run first to provide data

3. Review the AI-generated response to ensure it meets your needs

4. Adjust your query if the results aren't what you expected

⚠️ Warning: AI Web Search requires an active internet connection and may take longer than other AI actions due to the search and processing steps.
