# Google Search

> Add Google Search to an agent so it can search the public web from the Fetch Hive editor

Google Search gives your agent access to live public web search in Fetch Hive.

This is different from [Google Grounding](./google-grounding), which is Gemini's native Google Search grounding tool for Gemini agents.

## What it does

This tool lets an agent look up current information on the web while it responds. Use it when the answer depends on fresh sources instead of static instructions or stored documents.

## Adding the tool to an agent

1. Open an agent in the editor.
2. Click the button with the tooltip **Add MCP Tool or Sub Agent**.
3. In **MCP Tools**, click **Google Search**.

After you add the tool, select its node if you want to review the settings sheet.

## Configuration

Fetch Hive does not currently show extra configuration fields for this tool in the settings sheet.

## Use cases

* Look up current events or recent changes.
* Check public web sources before the agent answers.
* Enrich responses with fresh search results.

## Notes

* On Gemini, this tool requires Gemini 2.5 or Gemini 3 Flash. Use [Google Grounding](./google-grounding) for Gemini-native search, including on Gemini 2.0.
* Use **Chat** in the editor to see when the agent calls **Google Search** during a test run. See [Testing with Chat](../testing-with-chat).
* To add or remove tools from an agent, see [Creating and Configuring](../creating-and-configuring).
