# Fact Search

> Best practices for Fact Search

## Use focused keywords

Short, specific keywords return better results than full sentences.

```bash theme={null}
# Good
q=bitcoin+ETF+approval

# Avoid
q=what+is+the+latest+news+about+bitcoin+ETF+approval
```

## Filter by language and country

If your use case targets a specific region, always pass `language` and `country` to reduce noise.

```bash theme={null}
# Korean news only
q=삼성전자&language=korean&country=KR

# US English news only
q=federal+reserve&language=english&country=US
```

## Use `sortBy=date` for breaking news

When recency matters more than relevance, switch the sort order.

```bash theme={null}
q=earthquake&sortBy=date&timespan=24h
```

## Limit results for performance

The default `limit` is 10. For real-time use cases, reduce it to 3–5 to keep response times low.

```bash theme={null}
q=nvidia&limit=3
```

## Combine with Fact Checker

Use Fact Search to surface recent articles, then pass the key claims to [Fact Checker](/api-reference/fact-checker) for verification.

```
Fact Search → extract claim from article → Fact Checker
