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)

Kimi web search via Moonshot web search

You want to use Kimi for web_search

You need a KIMI_API_KEY or MOONSHOT_API_KEY

Kimi Search

OpenClaw supports Kimi as a web_search provider, using Moonshot web search to produce AI-synthesized answers with citations.

Get an API key

Get an API key from [Moonshot AI](https://platform.moonshot.cn/). Set `KIMI_API_KEY` or `MOONSHOT_API_KEY` in the Gateway environment, or configure via:

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

Config

{
  plugins: {
    entries: {
      moonshot: {
        config: {
          webSearch: {
            apiKey: "sk-...", // optional if KIMI_API_KEY or MOONSHOT_API_KEY is set
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
  tools: {
    web: {
      search: {
        provider: "kimi",
      },
    },
  },
}

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

How it works

Kimi uses Moonshot web search to synthesize answers with inline citations, similar to Gemini and Grok's grounded response approach.

Supported parameters

Kimi 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
Grok Search -- AI-synthesized answers via xAI grounding
