# Web Search
The web search feature gives large language models internet retrieval capability for recent information, which can improve response accuracy and reduce hallucinations to some extent.
AstrBot's built-in web search functionality relies on the large language model's `function calling` capability. If you're not familiar with function calling, please refer to: [Function Calling](/use/websearch).
When using a large language model that supports function calling with the web search feature enabled, you can try saying:
- `Help me search for xxx`
- `Help me summarize this link: https://soulter.top`
- `Look up xxx`
- `Recent xxxx`
And other prompts with search intent to trigger the model to invoke the search tool.
AstrBot currently supports 4 web search providers: `Tavily`, `BoCha`, `Baidu AI Search`, and `Brave`.

Go to `Configuration`, scroll down to find Web Search, where you can select `Tavily`, `BoCha`, `Baidu AI Search`, or `Brave`.
### Tavily
Go to [Tavily](https://app.tavily.com/home) to get an API Key, then fill it in the corresponding configuration item.
### BoCha
Get an API Key from the BoCha platform, then fill it in the corresponding configuration item.
### Baidu AI Search
Get an API Key from Baidu Qianfan APP Builder, then fill it in the corresponding configuration item.
### Brave
Get an API Key from Brave Search, then fill it in the corresponding configuration item.
If you use Tavily as your web search source, you will get a better experience optimization on AstrBot ChatUI, including citation source display and more:
