I have noticed that when I prompt cursor to use my codebase it does not conduct a web search. Is there any way to get Cursor to use both web search and your codebase?
It seems to work for me when I type @web in the chat and press cmd+enter. It finds things on the internet for me. You can try it out.
@deanrie What do you see that indicates it performed a web search? When I prompt using codebase context I don’t see any web search results.
BTW - I am on a windows machine connecting to a linux docker container.
In your screenshot, there’s a web icon at the top of the input field, which means it’s working. As for it not showing search results, that’s something to look into.
Why does that mean it is working? That displays based on whether or not I turn on this setting:
My experience is that when I ask it to use the codebase, answers do not seem to recognize latest documentation on packages I am using. If I follow it up with a request to have it verify it’s answers using the web, it makes significant changes.
