During a pull request review, Qodo can search the web for up-to-date documentation, specifications, and release notes for third-party dependencies referenced in your code. Qodo uses a third-party search service to retrieve relevant sources, helping the review agent produce more accurate findings based on current information.

## Prerequisites

1. Log in to the Qodo portal.
2. If you are an existing user, in the **Configurations** > **Context** tab, enable **Web search**. Web search is enabled by default for new users.

## How web search works

When Qodo reviews a pull request, it identifies third-party dependencies referenced in the changes and searches the web for relevant documentation, specifications, and release notes.

The review agent uses this information to:

* Detect usage that conflicts with the latest API or specification for a dependency.
* Flag deprecated methods, removed features, or breaking changes introduced in newer versions.
* Ground third-party evidence in official docs, issues, and other helpful sources available instead of the model's internal knowledge, in order to prevent hallucinations.

## View web search references in findings

When web search contributes to a finding, the **Context used** panel in the review comment lists the external sources the agent referenced. This shows you which documentation, release notes, or other sources informed the finding.
