# web-research

Search the web, visit multiple pages, and compile a research summary with source attribution.

## Usage

```
/web-research what are the best rust web frameworks in 2026
```

## What it does

Conducts multi-page web research using browsy's fast search and browsing:

- **Web search** — queries DuckDuckGo or Google via `browsy_search` and returns structured results with titles, URLs, and snippets
- **Selective reading** — reviews search result snippets to identify the 3-5 most relevant pages, then visits each with `browsy_browse`
- **Content extraction** — uses `browsy_find` and `browsy_tables` to pull key facts, data points, and structured content from each page
- **Source tracking** — maintains attribution for every fact extracted, linking claims back to their source URL
- **Conflict detection** — highlights when different sources present contradictory information
- **Session navigation** — uses `browsy_back` to navigate between pages efficiently within the same session

## Workflow

1. `browsy_search` — search with the research query
2. Review titles and snippets, rank by relevance
3. For each of the top 3-5 results:
   - `browsy_browse` — visit the page
   - `browsy_page_info` — check page type, handle any obstacles
   - `browsy_find` — locate key content sections
   - `browsy_tables` — extract structured data if present
   - Record relevant facts with source URL
4. `browsy_back` — navigate between pages as needed
5. Compile findings into structured summary
6. Flag any conflicting information across sources
