Gemini Web Search

Use Gemini CLI to search the web and produce a concise, sourced answer.

Quick workflow

1) Formulate a tight query

• - Include: entity + ticker/name + date/time window + what you need (%, $, cause, quotes, links)
• Example: INLINECODE0

2) Run Gemini CLI with a TTY and long timeout
Gemini CLI can hang or be slow without a pseudo-TTY.

Preferred (OpenClaw tool call):

• - Use functions.exec with INLINECODE2
• Use timeout 300–600s (longer for heavy searches)
• Use yieldMs ~10000 then process.poll until completion

Command template:

• - INLINECODE6

If pty:true still behaves poorly, use a pseudo-tty wrapper:

• - INLINECODE8

3) Extract the answer in a structured way
Return:

• - The key numeric facts (e.g., % move, $ move, close/intraday)
• 2–4 bullets of the main catalyst(s)
• Links (always)

4) Quality control (mandatory)

• - Prefer: company IR/SEC filing, Reuters, Bloomberg, WSJ/FT, CNBC, reputable outlets.
• Avoid relying on low-quality finance blogs/SEO sites.
• If sources conflict or look unreliable: say so and ask user for a screenshot/link, or re-run with a stricter prompt.

Prompts that work well

• - Fast triage:

• - Market move:

• - Force better sources:

Failure modes & fixes

• - Gemini prints “I will search…” then stalls

• - Output has suspicious claims (e.g., odd CEO news)

• - Need numbers but sources don’t show them

Local setup notes

• - Gemini CLI binary: INLINECODE14
