Web Search Research

Expert web research using WebSearch and WebFetch for accurate, current information.

Quick Reference

Strategies - Query-type-specific search approaches
Progressive Search - Time-boxed research rounds
Synthesis Format - Organizing findings
Quality Guidelines - Research best practices

When to Use

Find modern information not in training data
Locate official documentation for APIs/libraries
Research best practices and current recommendations
Discover technical solutions to specific problems
Compare technologies, approaches, or tools

Date Context Awareness

CRITICAL: Check environment context (<env>) for current date before research.

Why: Ensures searches use current year, prevents outdated best practices.

Core Process

Analyze - Break down query, identify key terms
Search - Execute strategic searches
Fetch - Retrieve content from authoritative sources
Synthesize - Organize and present findings

Research Depth

Level	Time	Use When
Quick	15-20 min	Simple questions, checking syntax
Standard	30-45 min	Technical decisions, best practices
Deep	60-90 min	Architecture decisions, critical systems
Exhaustive	2+ hr	Mission-critical, novel domains

See strategies.md for API/docs/best-practices search patterns and progressive.md for time-boxed approach.
