Skills/Web Search/Quick lookup

Quick lookup

6.25 credits / search

Runs a single focused search to find a specific answer, official page, definition, or document. Describe what you are looking for in plain words and the skill builds and runs the query, returning the best matches ranked by relevance. The right choice when one good search should do the job.

Use when

You want a specific answer, link, or official source and one good search will do.

Not for

Surveying a whole topic, which needs a broader multi-search scan.

What it accepts

Set these inside the intent when you run it.

How recent results must be, e.g. today, this week, this month, this year.

regionoptional

A country or language to localize results to.

What you get back

Ranked search results with title, link, and a short excerpt per result. Not full-page content -- use web scraping to read a specific page.

Run it
