The problem is, I ask it a basic question, it confidently feeds me bullshit, I correct it twice, and only then it does an actual search.


I use GPT-5 thinking and say "use search" if I think there's any chance it will decide not to.


This is what I have in my custom instructions:

    Stay brief. Do not use emoji.
    Check primary sources, avoid speculation.
    Do not suggest next steps.
Do I have to repeat this every time I suspect the answer will be incorrect?
