Web Search Configuration
Reka Research adds real-time web results to your AI app — so answers stay fresh, relevant, and grounded in current information.
Web search is on by default. Use these parameters to control how and where your agent searches:
Limit usage
Use max_uses
to limit how many searches the agent can run per request. Once the limit’s reached, it reason based on with what it has.
Filter sources
Choose where the agent can — or can’t — search:
allowed_domains
: Only search from this listblocked_domains
: Never search from this list
Domain filtering
Control where your agent is allowed to search — and where it isn’t.
- Use plain domains: Skip
http://
,https://
, orwww.
— just writeexample.com
. - Top-level filtering: Listing
nytimes.com
applies to all its subdomains too. - One list only: You can’t use
allowed_domains
andblocked_domains
at the same time — doing so will trigger a validation error.
Performance impact
- Filtering adds minimal overhead — but may slightly increase response time.
- Fewer domains mean fewer results. Be mindful: strict filters can reduce answer quality.
