Perplexity API Prompts: Target-Page Vocabulary, Result Caps

Perplexity's Agent API guide notes that specificity in input directly improves retrieval because it seeds the first search query: include vocabulary that actually appears on relevant target pages, add words to disambiguate terms, and always cap result counts explicitly (otherwise the model picks an arbitrary list length).

Poor Example: "Give me a list of sushi restaurants" Good Example: "List the top 5 sushi restaurants in Tokyo citing Michelin guide and tabelog ratings"
