Colab Web Search: Real-Time Design Trends & URL Analysis

Colab's **Web Search** feature integrates real-time web information into your design context, allowing AI to reference current trends, visual examples, and design patterns.

### **Three Ways to Trigger Web Search**

1. **Click the Web Search button** Click the web search icon in the chat to initiate a direct web search query.
2. **Semantic search via prompt** Type your search request directly in the input box, e.g., "search for latest minimal logo design trends" or "find examples of brutalist web design."
3. **Paste a public web link** Share a direct URL (no login required) in your prompt; Colab will analyze the page content and extract relevant visual, compositional, and design insights.

### **Core Applications**

* Discover and analyze current visual trends, campaigns, and design movements.
* Extract composition, color palette, typography, and layout principles from reference images or websites.
* Combine web research with uploaded files for multi-source inspiration and cross-referencing.
* Build data-driven design directions grounded in real-world examples and cultural signals.
