# Brave Search

> Use Brave Search tools with Agno Agents.

Retrieve relevant results from across the internet with Agno Agents and [Brave Search APIs](https://api-dashboard.search.brave.com/). Search from a large index of web pages with optional local and rich data enrichments.

```python theme={null}

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.bravesearch import BraveSearchTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


# Example 1: Enable specific Brave Search functions
agent = Agent(
    tools=[BraveSearchTools(enable_brave_search=True)],
    description="You are a news agent that helps users find the latest news.",
    instructions=[
        "Given a topic by the user, respond with 4 latest news items about that topic."
    ],
)

# Example 2: Enable all Brave Search functions
agent_all = Agent(
    tools=[BraveSearchTools(all=True)],
    description="You are a comprehensive search agent with full Brave Search capabilities.",
    instructions=[
        "Use Brave Search to find accurate, privacy-focused search results.",
        "Provide relevant and up-to-date information on any topic.",
    ],
)
