Smart Search Guide

Use this skill whenever the user asks you to search for information on the web or a specific platform. Construct the search URL directly and navigate to it instead of using the built-in

web_search
tool.

Keyword Encoding

  • Spaces: use
    +
    for Bing, GitHub, Bilibili; use
    %20
    for Douyin, Twitter, Facebook, Zhihu; either works for Baidu, Quark, YouTube
  • Special characters: URL-encode them (e.g.,
    #
    %23
    ,
    &
    %26
    ,
    ?
    %3F
    )
  • Chinese characters: URL-encode (browsers handle this automatically when you navigate)

Cookie Warmup — CRITICAL for Authenticated Platforms

Many platforms will return empty results or redirect to login if you navigate directly to a search URL without first visiting the home page. Always warm up the session in two steps:

PlatformStep 1 (warmup)Step 2 (search)
知乎Navigate
https://www.zhihu.com
Navigate to search URL
RedditNavigate
https://www.reddit.com
Navigate to search URL
微博Navigate
https://weibo.com
Navigate to search URL
YouTubeNavigate
https://www.youtube.com
Navigate to search URL
雪球Navigate
https://xueqiu.com
Navigate to search URL
路透社Navigate
https://www.reuters.com
Navigate to search URL
BilibiliNavigate
https://www.bilibili.com
Navigate to search URL
小红书Navigate
https://www.xiaohongshu.com
Navigate to search URL
TikTokNavigate
https://www.tiktok.com
Navigate to search URL

Platforms that do NOT need warmup (public APIs / no auth required):

  • Google, Bing, Baidu, Quark, GitHub, arXiv, Wikipedia, BBC, HackerNews, V2EX, Tieba, Amazon

General Web Search

Bing (recommended)

https://www.bing.com/search?q={keyword}

Time filters (append to URL):

    &filters=ex1:"ez3"

Pagination:

&first={offset}
where offset = (page − 1) × 10 + 1

https://www.bing.com/news/search?q={keyword}

Bing Images

https://www.bing.com/images/search?q={keyword}

Time filters for images:
