§ 01 How an answer gets made
Thirty-four pages in.
Seven kept. One answer out.
- 01
Search wide
One question becomes six to twelve searches — rephrased, translated, narrowed — so the good page on the fourth result page still gets found.
- 02
Read the whole page
Not the snippet. searchfor opens each page, reads the full text and notes the date, the author and who's paying for it.
- 03
Throw most of it out
Primary data and first-hand accounts go to the top. Content farms, copied text and pages built around affiliate links don't make the cut.
- 04
Write, with footnotes
A plain answer in your language. Every sentence carries the number of the source it came from. Hover one to see the line it's based on.

best time of day to water tomatoes
Early morning, at the base of the plant. Leaves dry off as the sun comes up, which lowers the risk of blight 1, and the roots get water before the hottest part of the day 2. Evening watering is fine in a heatwave if you keep the foliage dry 3.
