Practices for Giselle
Multi-Node Research
In Giselle, you can set up multiple sonar-pro
nodes to approach different perspectives, creating detailed, multifaceted research outputs similar to original deep-research reports.
Search Domain Filtering
Both sonar
and sonar-pro
nodes in Giselle now support the search_domain_filter
option, allowing you to control which websites are included in or excluded from the search results used by the models. This feature is particularly useful for:
- Restricting search results to trusted sources.
- Filtering out specific domains (e.g., forums, social media).
- Focusing research on particular websites.
How to Use:
- Allowlist (Include): Provide a list of simple domain names (e.g.,
"wikipedia.org"
,"nasa.gov"
). The search will only use results from these domains. - Denylist (Exclude): Provide a list of simple domain names (e.g.,
"pinterest.com"
,"reddit.com"
). The search will exclude results from these domains. - Combine: You can mix included and excluded domains in the same request.
Best Practices:
- Simple Domain Names: Use domains in their simplest form (e.g.,
example.com
) without protocol prefixes (http://
,https://
) orwww.
. - Main Domains: Using the main domain (e.g.,
nytimes.com
) will filter all its subdomains as well. - Limit Filter Size: You can add a maximum of 10 domains. Using fewer, more targeted domains often yields better results.
- Relevance: Use domains most relevant to your query for the best results.
Performance Considerations:
- Adding domain filters might slightly increase response time.
- Overly restrictive filters could lead to fewer search results, potentially affecting response quality.
