During a pull request review, Qodo can search the web for the latest official documentation, specifications, and release notes for third-party dependencies referenced in your code. This helps the review agent produce more accurate and up-to-date findings.

## Prerequisites

1. Log in to the Qodo portal.
2. In the **Configurations** > **Code review** tab, enable **Web search**.

Web search is disabled by default.

## How web search works

When Qodo reviews a pull request, it identifies third-party dependencies referenced in the changes and searches the web for their latest official 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 in official docs, Issues and other helpful sources available instead of models internal knowledge, in order to prevent hallucinations.

## View web search references in your pull request findings

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