Codex IDE Extension

OpenAI enables web search by default in Codex CLI and IDE Extension

OpenAI has updated Codex to enable web search by default for local tasks in the Codex CLI and IDE Extension. The feature operates in two modes: a cached mode (default) that serves results from an OpenAI-maintained pre-indexed web cache, and a live mode that fetches real-time web data. Users running in --yolo or full-access sandbox mode automatically get live results, and the behavior is configurable via a web_search configuration option.
