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 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
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Create a key">
|
|
Get an API key from [xAI](https://console.x.ai/).
|
|
</Step>
|
|
<Step title="Store the key">
|
|
Set `XAI_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment, or configure via:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
openclaw configure --section web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
|
|
```json5
|
|
{
|
|
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.
