# Search

DumplingAI Search includes general web search, news search, Google Maps, Google Places, autocomplete, and Google reviews in one workflow.

## What it does

* Search the web for pages and content
* Search news results
* Search maps and places
* Fetch autocomplete suggestions and business reviews

## Common use cases

* Research competitors, companies, and topics
* Build lead lists from maps and places results
* Monitor news around a brand or keyword
* Enrich automations with live search context
* Pull reviews and local business details for local-market research

## Why use it

Instead of wiring up separate search, maps, places, and reviews providers, you can use one platform and pass the results into scrape, extract, or AI workflows.

## Search includes maps and places

* Use `search` for broad web results
* Use `search_news` for news-specific results
* Use `search_maps` and `search_places` for local business and location data
* Use `get_google_reviews` when you need review content for a specific business
