The outcome
Return inspectable search evidence for an AI workflow instead of an unsupported synthesized answer.
Step by step
A workflow you can repeat.
- 01
Define the information need, acceptable source types, freshness window, excluded domains, evidence fields, and maximum result budget.
- 02
Choose a search mode for the latency and depth required, and use explicit domain, category, date, and result-count filters.
- 03
Request highlights or text only when needed, enable moderation for exposed user queries, and preserve URL and publication metadata.
- 04
Evaluate ranking and coverage against a benchmark with expected sources, difficult queries, duplicates, and no-good-result cases.
- 05
Pass evidence and citations—not hidden concatenated context—to generation, then record request ID, cost, and retrieval settings.
Working standard
What good use looks like.
- Keep source filters explicit.
- Evaluate retrieval separately from synthesis.
- Preserve URLs and publication metadata.
