What is Real-Time Web Search?

What does 'Real-Time Web Search' mean?

Rather than answering only from a model's training data, the assistant queries the live web during a request and uses what it finds to ground the response. This matters for anything time-sensitive: current prices, recent news, product specifications that change. Output typically includes links or citations back to the pages that were retrieved, so a reader can check the source.
