# OpenAI Search Provider in the Search the Web Agent Action Is Now Generally Available

Get relevant, real-time web search results within your AI agents by using OpenAI as a search provider. OpenAI as a search provider, which is now generally available, includes an update to the underlying web search model since the beta release.

**Where:** This change applies to Lightning Experience in Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions for an additional cost. Required add-on licenses vary by agent type. Setup for AI agents is available on the desktop site.

**When:** This change is available starting the week of May 4, 2026.

**How:** To customize your search provider, open the Search The Web agent action in Agentforce Builder and select **Edit Action**. Then, select the search provider in the **Configuration Value** under Search Provider Instructions. To access the search provider input for the action you added in earlier releases, add a fresh copy from the asset library.
