What does Web Search crawl?

Web Search queries Google and Bing for configured keywords, then crawls result pages for relevant content. It respects robots.txt and rate limits.

How do I configure search terms?

Set up competitor names, product keywords, and industry terms. Web Search combines these into targeted queries.

Can Web Search access paywalled content?

No. Web Search only accesses publicly available content. For paywalled sources, use direct integrations.

How is this different from manual Google searches?

Web Search runs automatically on schedule, tracks changes over time, and synthesizes findings into structured reports.
