Is this skill suitable for searching local files?

No, this skill is specifically for external web research. For local codebase analysis, you should use Claude Code's built-in Read, Grep, or Glob tools.

How does this skill save tokens compared to standard search?

It utilizes context isolation through a sub-agent, ensuring only the final, relevant findings are returned to your main conversation rather than the entire intermediate search history.

Can I control how long search results are cached?

Yes, you can configure the GEMINI_SEARCH_CACHE_TTL environment variable to adjust the time-to-live for cached results, with the default set to one hour.

How do I monitor my search analytics and token savings?

You can use the /gemini-search:search-stats command to view total searches, cache hit rates, and estimated token savings directly in your terminal.
