Web Research

Deep web research with query decomposition, multi-source search, and synthesized answers with source attribution.

Usage

Ask me to research any topic. I will break your question into targeted searches, gather information from multiple sources, and synthesize a coherent answer with citations.

Capabilities

• Decompose complex questions into targeted sub-queries
• Search across multiple sources and synthesize results
• Deduplicate overlapping information from different sources
• Assess confidence based on source freshness and authority
• Provide clear source attribution for all claims

Research Methodology

Step 1: Query Decomposition

Classify the question to determine search strategy:

From the query, extract:

• Keywords: Core terms that must appear in results
• Entities: People, companies, projects, technologies
• Constraints: Time ranges, specific domains, formats
• Intent: What the user will do with this information

Step 2: Multi-Source Search

Generate multiple query variants when the topic might be referred to differently:

User: "Kubernetes setup"
Queries: "Kubernetes", "k8s", "cluster setup", "container orchestration"

Search broadly, then narrow based on initial results.

Step 3: Synthesis

Combine results into a coherent answer:

1. Deduplicate -- merge same info from different sources
2. Cluster -- group related results by theme
3. Rank -- order by relevance to the original question
4. Assess confidence -- freshness, authority, agreement across sources
5. Synthesize -- produce narrative answer with attribution

Confidence Levels

• High: Multiple recent, authoritative sources agree
• Moderate: Single source or somewhat dated information
• Low: Old data, informal source, or conflicting signals -- flag explicitly

Presenting Results

• Lead with the answer, not the search process
• Group by topic, not by source
• Surface conflicts explicitly rather than silently picking one version
• Include source links for verification
• Offer to go deeper on any sub-topic

Example Prompts

• "Research the current state of WebAssembly adoption"
• "Compare Postgres vs MySQL for a new project"
• "What are the best practices for API rate limiting?"
• "Find information about company X's recent funding"

Tools
