Search the Right Corpus
Web for general questions, Academic for papers, Social for live discussion, and other focuses as offered. Matching the corpus beats clever wording: academic focus kills blog spam instantly.
Pick the Brain
Fast models for quick facts, reasoning models for analysis and comparisons. Pro searches spend more compute per question: save them for decisions, not trivia.
