Index Bing Search results into LlamaIndex

Feed search output directly into your vector store. When you run `search_web`, the results become searchable nodes in your index. You stop relying on static data. Your RAG application retrieves live web context alongside your internal documents to prevent hallucinations.

Resolve entities for LlamaIndex RAG

Map complex objects using `search_entities`. Your LlamaIndex application indexes these structured graphs to ground your agent in reality. Your queries get more accurate when the agent understands connections between people and places. It looks up the graph before answering user questions.

Filter images for LlamaIndex datasets

Ingest image metadata from `search_images` into your index. You store pixel dimensions and links as searchable attributes. This keeps your visual data organized. You query your local index and get back relevant image references found during the search.
