Using AfferLab
Web Search
Web search allows AfferLab conversations to access real-time information using model-native capabilities.
How It Works
Web search can be enabled for a conversation using the Web Search icon below the input area.
When enabled, AfferLab attempts to use the selected model’s native web search capability during the conversation.
Model Native Search
Some models provide built-in web search support.
When a compatible model is selected:
- AfferLab enables the model’s native search mode
- The model can retrieve up-to-date information directly during generation
- No additional tools or configuration are required
When Search Is Not Available
If the selected model does not support native web search, AfferLab will:
- Display an error message indicating that search is not available
- Continue the conversation normally without search
This means:
- Chat functionality is not affected
- Only web search is disabled
Notes
- Web search availability depends entirely on the selected model
- Different models may provide different levels of search quality and coverage
