+### Google search
+
+Some Gemini models support [Grounding with Google Search](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/ground-gemini#web-ground-gemini), where the model can run a Google search and use the results as part of answering a prompt.
+
+Using this feature may incur additional requirements in terms of how you use the results. Consult [Google's documentation](https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/multimodal/ground-gemini#web-ground-gemini) for more details.
+
+To run a prompt with Google search enabled, use `-o google_search 1`:
+
+```bash
+llm -m gemini-1.5-pro-latest -o google_search 1 \
+  'What happened in Ireland today?'
+```
+
+Use `llm logs -c --json` after running a prompt to see the full JSON response, which includes [additional information](https://github.com/simonw/llm-gemini/pull/29#issuecomment-2606201877) about grounded results.
