Hey Merlin family! We're excited to launch Focus Mode - a smarter way to search specific types of content right from your chat!
What's New?
Three specialized search modes to help you find exactly what you need:
YouTube Mode
- Search across YouTube videos and their content
- Perfect for finding reviews, podcasts, or specific creator content
- Example: "What were MKBHD's top phone picks this year?"
Academic Mode
- Powered by Semantic Scholar for research discovery
- Great for exploring latest research with inline citations
- Example: "Show me recent research on LLM tokenization"
Social Mode
- Currently Reddit-focused for community insights
- Ideal for real-world opinions and comparisons
- Example: "Compare user experiences with Airpods Max vs XM5"
How to Use
- Find the Live Search toggle below your chat bar
- Select your desired Focus Mode
- Start searching with domain-specific context!
