Haruno Knowledge base

Web search

Haruno can search the public web and bring back titles, links and short summaries. It is always on when you are signed in, and it needs no setup.

Web search lets Haruno look something up on the public web while it works. It returns the top results, each with a title, a link and a short summary.

Where it is

It has no row in the Connectors window. It needs no account, no key and no setup, so there is nothing to switch on. It is on whenever you are signed in to Haruno.

What you see

Haruno searches on its own when a question needs fresh information. In the normal view it searches without asking you first. The words it searches for are sent to Haruno's service to get the results.

In a scheduled task

Web search works in a scheduled task. It only reads, so nothing is held.

Who has it

Everyone who is signed in, in the normal view and the advanced view. It also works in a chat that belongs to a project. The chat that Ask Haruno opens on a company's page has that company's books and no web search. See Company projects.

If you are signed out, Haruno has no web search. Signing in brings it back.

What to tell a customer

Haruno can search the web by itself. There is nothing to connect. It returns links and short summaries, and the customer can ask Haruno to open a page for more.
