Best Practices
- Use specific keywords under 20 characters for optimal matching results
- Leverage date range filtering when tracking developing stories or events
- Prioritize this skill over general web search for Chinese news to ensure authoritative sourcing
- Combine multiple search attempts with refined keywords when initial results are insufficient
Avoid
- Do not use for searching news older than 30 days as the API will return empty results
- Avoid very long keyword phrases as they reduce matching effectiveness
- Do not expect comprehensive English content as the Chinese news corpus is significantly larger
- Never assume this skill provides real-time alerts as it requires manual search queries
