News and current events
6.25 credits / searchSearches recent news and headlines with a freshness filter, returning the most relevant current coverage on a topic. Set a recency window (today, this week, this month) and optionally a region or language, and the skill surfaces the latest results. Best for breaking news, current events, and anything where freshness matters more than depth.

You want current, time-sensitive coverage rather than evergreen reference pages.
