MiniMax Web Search Skill

Use this skill when you need to find current, real-time, or authoritative information that may have changed since my knowledge cutoff.

How to Use

Call the 
web_search
tool directly with a query:
web_search({ query: "your search query" })

When to Use

Use 
web_search
when:
  • Current events: News, recent developments, latest releases
  • Fact verification: Checking if information is still accurate
  • Technical updates: New versions, patches, breaking changes
  • Dynamic content: Prices, availability, schedules
  • Authoritative sources: Official documentation, API references

When NOT to Use

Do NOT use 
web_search
when:
  • General knowledge I likely know (historical facts, basic concepts)
  • Coding help for common patterns (unless asking about latest practices)
  • Opinion-based questions without specific recent information needs
  • Files already in context or accessible via 
    read
    tool

Usage

web_search({
  query: "your search query here"
})

Tips for Better Results

  1. Be specific: "TypeScript 5.4 new features" vs "TypeScript updates"
  2. Include context: "React 19 server components vs client components"
  3. Use recent keywords: "2024" or "2025" when timing matters
  4. Target authoritative sources: Include product names, official sites
  5. Use 3-5 keywords for optimal results

Examples

Good Queries

  • "Node.js 22 new features"
  • "Claude Code vs pi coding agent 2025"
  • "React 19 release date official"
  • "Docker desktop alternatives 2024"
  • "TypeScript 5.4 generics tutorial"

Poor Queries

  • "how to use TypeScript" (too general)
  • "is Python popular" (opinion, not time-sensitive)
  • "help me debug my code" (not a search task)
  • "best programming language" (opinion-based)

Response Format

Results include:
  • Titles and URLs for each result
  • Snippets with relevant context
  • Dates when available
  • Related searches for follow-up queries
You can use the suggestions to refine your search or ask the user which direction they'd like to explore.
