Tips

  • Keep queries under 400 characters – Think search query, not prompt
  • Break complex queries into sub-queries – Better results than one massive query
  • Use include_domains to focus on trusted sources
  • Use time_range for recent information
  • Filter by score (0-1) to get highest relevance results
