Short answer
Web Search Integration lets AskTuring pull in fresh, verified information from the internet so your answers include the latest insights, not just what’s in your Index.
Full explanation
With Web Search Integration, AskTuring goes beyond your uploaded documents and Semantic Maps. When you ask a question, the system can:
Search the web for the most current information.
Verify sources to ensure results come from trusted websites.
Combine online insights with your existing Index content for more accurate and timely answers.
This means you no longer need to worry about outdated content in your responses. AskTuring can blend your secure document knowledge with the latest web data while maintaining the same security, trust standards, and quality checks that the platform is known for. And to ensure full transparency, all web sources used are linked at the bottom of the response so you can review and confirm them yourself.
Tips
Use web search for topics that change frequently, like regulations, market updates, or recent news.
When working in AI-only mode, web search provides context even without uploaded documents.
In document-based mode, web results supplement your Index, giving richer and more relevant answers.
Examples
A law firm uses web search to check the latest changes in employment law while also reviewing their internal HR policy documents.
A real estate company combines their Index of property listings with current mortgage rate data pulled from financial news sites.
