# Web and Social Media Search

Your worker can search the web to look for pages. When used with [Scraping](/toolhouse/capabilites/scraping.md), web search is useful to perform deep research tasks. You could for example generate daily competitive research based on up-to-date sources.

## Web Search

Web Search returns search results for a specific query. This is similar to performing a Google Search. Your AI worker will automatically pick the best keywords for the task you have in mind.

If you need your worker to always use a specific set of keywords, edit your agent in [Agent Editor](/toolhouse/toolhouse/agent-editor.md) and tell the editor: "I want my worker to always use 'shark week' for its searches" (replace "shark week" with your own keywords).

## Current News Search

Your AI worker can read the current news for a specific topic. This is similar to reading Google News or Apple News. Your AI worker will automatically pick the best keywords for the type of news you're searching.

If you need your worker to always use a specific set of keywords, edit your agent in [Agent Editor](/toolhouse/toolhouse/agent-editor.md) and tell the editor: "I want my worker to always use 'Dow Jones' for its news searches" (replace "Dow Jones" with your own keywords).

## Job Openings Search

Your AI worker can read job openings that are publicly available on the internet. Your AI worker will automatically pick the best keywords for the type of jobs you're searching.

If you need your worker to always use a specific set of keywords, edit your agent in [Agent Editor](/toolhouse/toolhouse/agent-editor.md) and tell the editor: "I want my worker to always use 'Forward Deployed Engineer' for its job searches" (replace "Forward Deployed Engineer" with your own keywords).

## Social Media Search

Toolhouse has built-in tools to search specific social media services.

### X (Twitter) Search

Your AI worker can search the most recent X (Twitter) posts created in the past 7 days. The AI worker is already trained to use the X search query format when needed.

### Linkedin Search

Your AI worker can search Linkedin for job openings or specific profiles. The AI worker works on a specific dataset of public profiles.

### Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and other social media

You can search other social media sites by connecting the relevant integrations. Take a look at your [Integrations Gallery](https://toolhouse.app/integrations) for more details.

## Adding Search integrations manually

* Go to [Agents](https://toolhouse.app/agents) in your Toolhouse
* Click on your worker to edit it
