# Web Search Indicator

> An animated chat bubble that shows an AI assistant performing a tool call, popping in sources one by one while it "searches the web" and then revealing a short summary. Ported to React from the original HTML/CSS/JS component by MM Rahman Bappi (100 Free AI UI Components), MIT licensed.
