🌐 Mastering the Web Search Agent
Your Web Search Agent is a hybrid assistant. It uses a "Router" to decide whether to answer from its own brain or to look things up on the live internet. To get the best results, use the phrasing tips below.
🚀 1. How to Trigger a Web Search
The agent is trained to be efficient. If you ask a question that sounds like "General Knowledge," it might not search. To force a web search for the most current data, use these Search Triggers:
🧠 2. When the Agent Won't Search (General Knowledge)
If your question is "timeless," the agent will answer immediately using its internal intelligence to save you time.
Cooking Facts: "Do I have to wash my rice before cooking?" (General advice)
Static History: "Who was the first President of the US?" (Timeless fact)
Simple Logic: "Why is the sky blue?" or "Solve for $x$: $2x = 10$."
💻 3. Coding & Technical Requests
The agent has a special Code Mode. It will only provide code blocks if you explicitly ask for them.
To get code: Use keywords like write a script, how to code, javascript example, python function.
Example: "Write a Javascript function to calculate the area of a circle."
Result: The agent will provide a clean, copy-pasteable code block.
💡 4. Pro-Tips for Power Users
Follow-up Power: You don't need to repeat the subject. If you just searched for "Apple Inc," you can just ask: "Who is their CEO?" The agent resolves "their" using the conversation history.
Conflict Handling: If the internet disagrees on a fact (like a movie's box office numbers), the agent will show you both sources so you can see the discrepancy.
Check the Citations: Every factual claim from the web will have a number like [1]. These correspond to the "Sources" list at the bottom of the chat—always click them to verify!
Summary Checklist:
Want Live Data? Use: "What is the latest..."
Want Code? Use: "Write a script for..."
Want General Advice? Just ask: "How do I..."
