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

/search

Force a web search for any query

Use this when you explicitly want web results, even for queries that wouldn't auto-trigger search.

/search latest developments in artificial intelligence 2026/search how to deploy Next.js to Vercel step by step/search Apple AAPL stock price today/search best JavaScript frameworks comparison 2026

Example Queries That Trigger Search

Current Events

"What are the latest developments in space exploration?"

💡 Triggers on "latest" — fetches recent news from NASA, SpaceX, etc.

Factual Lookup

"Who is the current CEO of OpenAI?"

💡 Triggers on "current" + "who is" — looks up live data

Market Data

"What is the price of Bitcoin today?"

💡 Triggers on "price" + "today" — fetches current market data

Technical Tutorials

"How do I deploy a Next.js app to Vercel in 2026?"

💡 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
