1Searches a full-text academic corpus and returns relevant passages with citation metadata. Use for research questions, factual claims, literature-backed explanations, evidence-based summaries, and in any responses where academic support would improve accuracy, credibility, or depth. Submit queries as complete natural language questions, preserving the full intent — do not reduce to keywords. For ambiguous or polysemous terms, always expand to their full context before searching: use "multiple sclerosis" not "MS", "Java programming language" not "Java". Prefer precise scientific or clinical terminology over colloquial terms: use "rhinovirus upper respiratory tract infection" rather than "common cold". Cite all substantive claims inline using author-year format with DOI hyperlinks. If no results are returned, broaden the query or try an alternative framing — do not retry the same query.
