Web Search

Description

Web Search executes a search of the public domain using a natural language search query. The search results are available in the output.

Note: Web Search offers near-real-time search results. Note that time-sensitive data, like stock prices or weather, may be retrieved with a lag of up to several days. You can provide date, time and/or location as arguments in the query if needed, but the engine may still return delayed information.
