Web search

Web search finds pages on the open web for a question. On Cue OS, Cue can search while it works for you, and Cue CLI lets you run a search yourself and see every source it returns.

What you can do

• Search the web and get a short summary, titles, and links.
• Pick a useful result and read it with web fetch.
• Get the results as JSON for a script.

On the web

Cue OS has no separate search page. Cue's hosted agent has a web search tool, so you can ask it in a chat to look something up and to list the pages it used.

On iPhone and Android

The iPhone and Android apps are coming; store review is pending. You can use Cue OS in your phone browser now.

With Cue CLI

1. Set up Cue CLI.

2. Search for something:

   cue web search "how to grow herbs indoors"

3. Read the summary and the numbered results. Each has a title and a link. The first line names the search service that answered.

4. Add --json when a script needs the results:

   cue web search "how to grow herbs indoors" --json

5. Read a useful result in full with cue web fetch <url>.

Limits today

• Search results are leads, not checked facts. Open the source before you rely on it.
• The search runs from your computer with a default search service. Cue CLI lists other services with cue plugin capabilities --family web, but choosing one with --provider does not take effect in the current build.
• An answer from Cue in a chat depends on the agent's tools. Ask it to show its sources.
