Real-Time Web Search
SOHAM automatically searches the web when your question needs current information — no command required. Powered by DuckDuckGo with AI synthesis and source links.
How Auto-Search Works
SOHAM detects when your query needs live data and triggers search automatically
The intent detector scans every message for signals that require real-time data:
Time-sensitive keywords
"today", "latest", "current", "breaking", "this week"
News & events
"news", "headlines", "score", "weather", "forecast"
Factual lookups
"who is the CEO of...", "population of...", "capital of..."
Price & market data
"stock price", "how much does X cost", "exchange rate"
✅ When search triggers, SOHAM fetches DuckDuckGo results, synthesizes them with AI, and appends numbered source links at the bottom of the response.
Manual Search Command
/searchForce a web search for any query
Use this when you explicitly want web results, even for queries that wouldn't auto-trigger search.

Auto-Detection
No command needed — SOHAM detects when search is required
Example Queries That Trigger Search
Current Events
💡 Triggers on "latest" — fetches recent news from NASA, SpaceX, etc.
Factual Lookup
💡 Triggers on "current" + "who is" — looks up live data
Market Data
💡 Triggers on "price" + "today" — fetches current market data
Technical Tutorials
💡 Year reference triggers search for up-to-date guides
Best Practices
✅ For better results
- • Be specific: "latest React 19 features" vs "React features"
- • Include year for technical queries: "Next.js deployment 2026"
- • Ask follow-up questions to go deeper into results
- • Use /search explicitly when you always want web results
⚠️ Limitations
- • DuckDuckGo may not index very niche or paywalled content
- • Real-time prices may have slight delays
- • If search fails, AI falls back to its training knowledge
- • Very recent events (last few hours) may not appear
