alt Hacker News> Claude Code rarely searches the web while Codex almost always does
I’m trying to understand why they are opposite. I think it is true, I find myself giving a secondary prompt to Claude to “research this” and only then will it fetch. Codex is bang on fetching already.

Gemini CLI (at least mine) does web research all the time. I've noticed it hitting my own pages (I have to ask very specific things). I don't have any global or project rules to encourage that behavior.
Must be system prompts and tool instructions guiding the agents differently.
