Crappy AI Answers: How to FORCE AI Search to be more thorough and provide better answers!

Have you noticed that when you ask the AI artificial intelligence search engines a question, such as in copilot, Gemini, grok, open AI and others You frequently get a garbage answer back. Something that is not just wrong but is completely and utterly wrong . Apparently, the AI search engines are lazy and they do as little work as possible . You must force them to look for new current up-to-date information and to examine it critically.  Here's how you do it below. But keep in mind these AI search engines have incredible bias built into them. They're often programmed by extreme radicals who have a political agenda or are just idiots and are not as smart as they think they are. You must not trust these engines unless you can verify it yourself first period

The way you phrase things really does determine whether the AI search engione actually goes out and searches the web for authoritative sources versus relying on general knowledge in its LLM database. Here’s how you can “force” it to search MORE thoroughly and avoid assumptions:

How to Phrase Questions for Guaranteed Search

• Include explicit search intent:
  Use phrases like “look up,” “search,” “check online,” “find current info,” or “verify from sources.”
  Example: “Search whether the CyberBrick kit pairs with iPhone 8 via Bluetooth.”

• Ask about compatibility, specs, or availability:
  Anytime you ask “is X compatible with Y,” “what are the requirements,” “where can I buy,” I will trigger a search.
  Example: “Check the official specs for CyberBrick kit smartphone compatibility.”

• Mention time sensitivity:
  If you say “latest,” “current,” “updated,” “2025,” or “recent,” I’ll know you want fresh info.
  Example: “Find the latest supported devices for CyberBrick kit.”

• Request citations or sources:
  If you ask me to “show sources,” “cite official documentation,” or “link to manufacturer page,” I must search and provide them.
  Example: “Provide sources confirming CyberBrick kit Bluetooth support for iPhone.”

 Examples of Effective vs. Risky Phrasing

Example 1

You want to know if the Bambu Labs CyberBrick tool can be used with an iPhone 8

Risky phrasing (may cause assumptions)	Strong phrasing (forces search)
“Can it connect to iPhone 8?”	“Search official CyberBrick specs to see if it supports iPhone 8.”
“Is this compatible?”	“Check online sources for compatibility between CyberBrick kit and TP-Link cameras.”
“Tell me about CyberBrick”	“Look up CyberBrick kit product page and summarize its features with citations.”

 Specific words to use in your search:

Search online and verify from official sources:
[Your specific question here]

Requirements:
- Use authoritative sources (manufacturer pages, official documentation, or trusted reviews).
- Provide citations for every factual claim.
- Summarize clearly and avoid assumptions.
- Include step‑by‑step setup or compatibility details if relevant.

Bottom line:

If you want the AI to always search, add words like “search,” “check online,” “verify,” “latest,” or “sources.” That guarantees it willl pull in fresh, authoritative info instead of leaning on assumptions.
