Web Search

When enabled, Wallu can search the web to answer questions your own knowledge base doesn't cover. It's useful for fast-moving topics or large public docs you haven't imported.

Set it up

1. Open the Web Search page.
2. Toggle Enable Web Search.
3. Set a main search term - usually your brand or domain (e.g. wallubot or wallubot.com). It's added to every query to keep results about you.
4. (Optional) Add additional keywords - other names for your product, so results about it still count as on-topic.
5. Choose which channels can use web search, then save.

Keep results on-topic

The keywords are also a filter on what comes back: a result is used only if the main search term or one of your additional keywords appears in it (or in the source links). Nothing on-topic found means Wallu just answers from your own knowledge instead.

If your brand name is generic, add a more specific phrase (e.g. your full product name) so results stay about you and not a namesake.

Wallu also runs a cheap check first to decide whether a question needs the web at all, so most questions never trigger a search.

Credit usage

Each web search uses extra credits, even when it doesn't find anything. Enable it only in channels where searching the web is worth it, and lean on imported documents for content you already control.
