# Web Search

> Search the web and extract source content from Navigator conversations.

Web search gives Navigator access to current information through Exa. Use it for research, source gathering, quick fact checks, and workflows that need fresh web context.

## Enable web search

```dotenv theme={null}
EXA_API_KEY=your-exa-key
```

Restart the app after changing environment variables.

## Usage

```text theme={null}
@web find current pricing pages for the top CRM tools
@web extract the article at https://example.com/research-note
```

## Best practices

* Ask for sources when the result will be used in a report or decision
* Use web search for time-sensitive facts instead of relying on model memory
* Combine search with data visualization when you need tables or comparisons
* Prefer manual tool mode if searches can trigger downstream actions
