# Web Search

## Instructions

Call the `run_js` tool using `index.html` and a JSON string for `data` with the following fields:

- **query**: Required. A concise, keyword-focused search query. Strip conversational filler words. Examples:
  - User asks "what is the latest iPhone model?" → query: `latest iPhone model 2026`
  - User asks "今天有什麼新聞?" → query: `today news Hong Kong 2026`
- **top_k**: Optional. Number of results to return. Default is 5. Use 3 for simple lookups, 8-10 for research topics.

**Constraints:**
- Always use this skill for time-sensitive questions: news, prices, sports scores, current events, anything after your training cutoff.
- Summarize the returned results in a concise answer. Do not repeat all raw results verbatim.
- If search returns no relevant results, say so and suggest a refined query.
- Respond in the same language as the user's original prompt.
- If the user's question needs deeper reading of one result, suggest using the `web-fetch` skill with that URL.
