# Search Command

#### Overview

LLMs (Large Language Models) are powerful—but they don’t know everything. Their knowledge is limited to the data they were trained on, which means they can’t automatically access **recent news, real-world events, or live information**.

That changes now.

With the new **`/search`** command, you can connect your conversations to the internet in real time. The AI will look up the most relevant and up-to-date information, summarize it, and use it naturally in the chat—so your character stays informed, responsive, and a little more human.

#### 🔍 How It Works

When the system detects a **`/search`** command in your message:

1. A real-time web search is performed using your query.
2. A short summary of the results is integrated directly into the current context.
3. The AI then uses that new information to generate a natural reply.

{% hint style="info" %}
💡 **Note:** The additional information stays in the contexx **only for as long as the original message remains in the model’s active context**, which depends on your subscription tier and context memory
{% endhint %}

#### 🧠 How to Use It

To use the feature, simply type the **`/search`** command on a **new line** in your chat, followed by your question or topic.

```
/search [your question or topic]
```

Once sent, the search will be performed and summary of that search will be added to the context to generate the next response.&#x20;

#### 💬 Example Prompts

**Example 1 — Checking Timezones**

```
/search current time in Tokyo
Looks like we’ll miss our dinner reservation if it’s already late evening there.
```

→ The AI finds the local time in Tokyo and responds naturally based on it.

**Example 2 — Cultural Context**

```
You tighten your grip on the charm hanging from your neck, whispering a quiet prayer.
/search traditional Japanese talismans used against demons
```

→ The AI searches the traditional Japanese talismans and the response is based on that.

**Example 3 — Pop Culture Update**

```
You’ve been bragging about your favorite driver all week—did he actually win?
/search who won the latest Formula 1 race
```

→ The AI searches live results and responds with the outcome.

#### 💡 Tips for Best Results

* Keep your **search request short and clear.** (Think: “weather in Paris today,” not “tell me the entire forecast for this month.”)
* You can use **`/search`** anywhere in the message—it doesn’t have to be at the start.
* Keep the search relevant to the current context and story.
