# Kagi Search

The Kagi Search plugin allows BoltAI to search for relevant information from the Internet using Kagi Search API.

It works similarly to the [Web Search plugin](https://docs.boltai.com/docs/plugins/web-search). Instead of using the Google Programmable Search Engine, it uses Kagi Search API instead.

### How to set up the Kagi Search plugin?

1. Make sure you have generated a Kagi Search API key. Follow [this official guide](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/api/search.html) to get started.
2. Go to Settings > Plugins > Kagi Search. Select tab `Settings` then enter your API key.

### How to use the Kagi Search plugin?

It's similar to the Web Search Plugin.

1. Start a new chat. Choose an LLM that supports Function Calling (for example GPT-4o)
2. Enable the Kagi Search plugin. Optionally, enable the Web Browsing plugin.
3. Enter your prompt. BoltAI should smartly decide if it needs to perform a web search.
