  • When Claude needs the web

  • How to have it read one specific page

Why it matters

Claude's built-in knowledge stops at the point its training ended. Ask about last week's news, today's prices or a company's current pricing page and, without a search, it is working from memory that may be out of date.

Web search fixes that. Claude runs a search, reads several results, and answers with links to where each point came from.
