Hooks into Perplexity AI to search the web for current information, best practices, and tech comparisons. You'd reach for this when comparing Redis vs Memcached, checking Go error handling patterns in 2024, or finding out what's new in a framework release. The gotchas doc is honest about real problems: search quality swings wildly based on phrasing, date filters are unreliable, and rate limits can silently fail. One thing to remember is this pulls from general web sources, so if you need official API docs, use the Context7 lookup skill instead. Good for trends and opinions, not canonical references.
