> Yes, you can tell the AI to Google for more context.

Before you can Google, make sure that your have followed the [Enabling Web Search](/openwebui/setup-apikeys#enabling-web-search) guide when you set up your Open WebUI instance. When you've done it, here's how your text input field will look like:

Make sure you have clicked on the `Web Search` button, now let's start our chat. I'm going to ask it this question:

  If you click on the `Searched 15 sites` area, Open WebUI will reference back to you the sites it used to search for the answer.
