# Web Search Best Practices

### Key tips for effective web searches
1. **Write clear, specific questions**
* ✅ "What are the main features of Python 3.12 released in 2024?"
* ❌ "Tell me about Python"
2. **Use Additional Search Terms wisely**
* Limit to specific sites when needed: `site:github.com`
* Exclude low-quality sources: `-site:spam.com`
* Focus on timeframes: `2024 2025`
3. **Start simple, then add complexity**
* Try Standard Web Search first
* If results aren't detailed enough, switch to Advanced
* Enable scraping only when you need full page content
4. **Balance speed and thoroughness**
* Fewer pages and matches = faster results
* More pages and matches = more comprehensive but slower
5. **Monitor your Teammate's work**
* Watch for search steps in the conversation
* Check if sources are relevant and authoritative
* Refine your question if results miss the mark
