## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current, real-time, or recently updated web information that may not exist in a language model's training data. Ideal for news lookups, fact-checking recent events, finding live prices, or retrieving information from specific websites. Prefer this over general LLM completions when recency and accuracy of web-sourced data is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague or ambiguous — returns low-relevance results
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — returns error response
- Search index unavailable — service timeout or 503 error
- Query contains restricted or policy-violating content — returns refusal
- No relevant results found for highly niche or novel queries
