News Search

What and how it can be used:

The News Search component searches specifically through news sources and media outlets to find recent articles, breaking news, and journalistic content. It provides access to current events, news stories, and press releases from verified news publishers, offering more focused and timely results than general web search.

When/how the component should be used:

  • Use for general web lookup.
  • Use for fact verification and research.
  • Use for current information beyond knowledge cutoff.
  • Provide a search query as Chat Input or from a Prompt Template.
  • Receive structured search results (titles, snippets, URLs) in the output component e.g Chat Output.
  • Can be combined with a Language Model to summarize search results or answer questions.
