Claude can now search the web (original) (raw)
Claude can now search the web to deliver up-to-date, cited information in conversational responses across all plans.
Update: Web search is now available globally on all Claude plans. (May 27, 2025)
You can now use Claude to search the internet to provide more up-to-date and relevant responses. With web search, Claude has access to the latest events and information, boosting its accuracy on tasks that benefit from the most recent data.
When Claude incorporates information from the web into its responses, it provides direct citations so you can easily fact check sources. Instead of finding search results yourself, Claude processes and delivers relevant sources in a conversational format. This enhancement expands Claude's extensive knowledge base with real-time insights, providing answers based on more current information.
Popular ways to use Claude with web search:
- Sales teams can transform account planning and drive higher win rates through informed conversations with prospects by analyzing industry trends to learn key initiatives and pain points.
- Financial analysts can assess current market data, earnings reports, and industry trends to make better investment decisions and inform financial model assumptions.
- Researchers can build stronger grant proposals and literature reviews by searching across primary sources on the web, spotting emerging trends and identifying gaps in the current literature.
- Shoppers can compare product features, prices, and reviews across multiple sources to make more informed purchase decisions.
