AWS has added domain filtering and user location controls to Web Search on Amazon Bedrock. Developers configure both through the web_search tool in existing OpenAI Responses API requests, according to AWS.

A filter can allow up to 100 domains or block up to 100 domains, while optional location parameters tailor results to a geography. The controls are available in all four supported regions: US East in N. Virginia and Ohio, US West in Oregon, and AWS GovCloud in US-West.
