Vincent Koc 78399c67e9 docs(tools): restructure web search into nested group with provider sub-pages

Restructure "Web and search" into a "Web Search" nested group
(matching Browser pattern) with provider sub-pages:

New pages:
- tools/gemini-search: Gemini with Google Search grounding setup
- tools/grok-search: Grok/xAI web-grounded search setup
- tools/kimi-search: Kimi/Moonshot web search setup

Existing pages (Brave, Firecrawl, Perplexity, Tavily) already exist.

Changes to tools/web.md (overview page):
- Simplify provider table with links to sub-pages
- Replace inline Gemini section with link to dedicated page
- Replace inline Brave/Perplexity setup with CardGroup linking all 7 providers
- Keep auto-detection, web_search, web_fetch reference sections

Navigation: "Web and search" -> "Web Search" with all 8 pages
(overview + 7 providers alphabetical)

Grok web search via xAI web-grounded responses

You want to use Grok for web_search

You need an XAI_API_KEY for web search

Grok Search

OpenClaw supports Grok as a web_search provider, using xAI web-grounded responses to produce AI-synthesized answers backed by live search results with citations.

Get an API key

Get an API key from [xAI](https://console.x.ai/). Set `XAI_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment, or configure via:

```bash
openclaw configure --section web
```

Config

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      xai: {
        config: {
          webSearch: {
            apiKey: "xai-...", // optional if XAI_API_KEY is set
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  tools: {
    web: {
      search: {
        provider: "grok",
      },
    },
  },
}

Environment alternative: set XAI_API_KEY in the Gateway environment. For a gateway install, put it in ~/.openclaw/.env.

How it works

Grok uses xAI web-grounded responses to synthesize answers with inline citations, similar to Gemini's Google Search grounding approach.

Supported parameters

Grok search supports the standard query and count parameters. Provider-specific filters are not currently supported.

Web Search overview -- all providers and auto-detection
Gemini Search -- AI-synthesized answers via Google grounding
