Claude does not use the web search tool unless it thinks there's a good reason to. If you nudge it to search, it will, and then it'll tell you all about OpenClaw. You can easily go try this yourself -- I just did. It works fine.

Again, go to claude.ai yourself and try it. It works fine. It happily tells you about OpenClaw.

Whatever happened to jrflo must have been a coincidence. It frankly doesn't make any sense for Anthropic to be trying to block this.



My guess is that it was an abuse filter over-keyed on OpenClaw pushing Claude to certain responses patterns.

Normally given a web search tool these models will search if they don’t know.
