Web Search

Perform effective web searches to find relevant information, articles, documentation, and resources.

When to Use

• Finding information on specific topics
• Researching documentation or technical resources
• Discovering news and current events
• Locating tutorials, guides, or how-to content

Search Strategies

1. Query Formulation

Be specific: Use precise terms rather than broad queries.

• Good: "Python asyncio tutorial best practices"
• Poor: "Python programming"

Use quotes for exact phrases: Wrap phrases in quotes to find exact matches.

• Example: "machine learning" "neural networks"

Include context keywords: Add domain or context terms.

• Example: React hooks useState typescript

2. Filtering Results

By date: Focus on recent content when timeliness matters.

• Add year: kubernetes deployment 2024

By source type: Target specific content types.

• Documentation: site:docs.python.org asyncio
• GitHub: site:github.com project-name

Exclude irrelevant results: Use minus sign.

• Example: python web framework -django

3. Search Iteration

1. Start with a focused query
2. Review top results for relevance
3. Refine query based on findings
4. Narrow or broaden scope as needed

Output Guidelines

When presenting search results:

• Summarize key findings concisely
