Summary

The AI Overview page is linked as "Start Using LibreChat" from the user guides index, but it had no pointer to search. A reader on the Turkish version asked how to search. This adds a short Searching section that tells web search (chat input toggle or an agent's web_search capability) apart from conversation search (the sidebar box, shown only when Meilisearch is enabled), and links to both feature pages. I checked the sidebar behavior against LibreChat dev (UnifiedSidebar/ConversationsSection.tsx, which gates the search box on search.enabled). Only the English source is edited. The translation workflow generates the locale copies.

LibreChat has two separate kinds of search:

- **Search the web**: Turn on web search from the chat input, or give an agent the `web_search` capability, so the AI can look up current information. It needs a search provider, set up by your admin or with your own API keys when prompted. See [Web Search](/docs/features/web_search).

P2 Badge Include the required scraper in web-search setup

When an admin relies on this prerequisite summary and configures only a search provider—for example, Serper or SearXNG—web search still cannot run because a scraper is also mandatory. The linked guide explicitly requires both a search provider and scraper in content/docs/features/web_search.mdx lines 10–29 and 222, so this overview should mention both rather than implying that the provider alone is sufficient.

P2 Badge Explain the capability gate on the chat-input option

On deployments that customize endpoints.agents.capabilities and omit web_search, the web-search control is absent from regular chats because this capability gates all LLM interactions, not only individual Agents. Presenting the chat-input control and the capability as alternatives therefore misdirects users who cannot find the control; clarify that web_search must be allowed globally for the composer option, while an individual Agent enables Web Search through Agent Builder, as documented in the official Web Search availability conditions.
