What it is, in our words
A search API whose raw results were the cleanest of the four we benchmarked.
What we measured
56.0% of everything it sends back is an article about a real round from that week, the highest raw precision in the test, but its capture was the lowest at 26.1%.
It stamps dates at Beijing midnight, so a one-day window we sent covered two true days until we corrected for it. It also caps every call at 50 results and treats OR as a union.
It bills only non-empty responses, so its 313 empty calls in our run cost nothing.
