# Search

> Web, news, image, and LLM-context search across multiple providers.

The **Search** category gives your agent fresh, real-time web results — the live
data a base model can't reach. Discover a tool with `find_tools`, then call it
with `type` + params.

## Providers

| Provider         | Best for                                         |

| **Tavily**       | AI-optimized search with semantic understanding  |
| **Brave Search** | Privacy-focused, independent index, no tracking  |
| **Perplexity**   | Answer engine with verified, cited sources       |
| **Serper**       | Fast, reliable access to Google's index at scale |
| **Exa**          | Neural/semantic search for research workflows    |
| **Parallel**     | High-throughput search                           |
