Capabilities
Web Search
AnyCap web search gives agents a structured web search API through one CLI. Agents can retrieve result sets, constrain trusted domains, filter by recency, and pull page content into the workflow without relying on a separate browser extension or provider-specific search integration. That makes web search easier to combine with the rest of the AnyCap runtime.
CLI usage

When agents need web search
Find relevant pages, docs, or references before an agent writes or updates code.
Search the web with structured results instead of opening a browser-based search workflow.
Constrain searches to trusted domains when teams need more predictable retrieval.
Pull page content directly into the workflow when the agent needs more than just URLs and snippets.

FAQ
What does AnyCap web search let agents do?
It gives agents a structured web search API through the CLI. Teams can search by query, filter by domain or date, and optionally fetch full page content without stitching together separate browser tools or search providers.
Why is web search its own capability page?
Because the market language here is API-shaped. Search demand is usually phrased as web search API, search API for AI agents, or real-time web search API rather than a generic capability term.
How is this different from grounded web search?
Web search returns structured search results. Grounded web search synthesizes an answer with citations. The two capabilities share the same command family but solve different jobs.
When should teams use standard web search first?
When the goal is discovery, retrieval, or collecting a result set. If the agent needs to inspect candidate pages itself, standard search is the cleaner starting point.
