Perplexity Deep Search

AI-powered web search with three modes for different depth levels.

Quick Start

bash
# Quick search (sonar) - facts, summaries, current events
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh "latest AI news"

# Reasoning (sonar-reasoning-pro) - complex analysis, multi-step
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --mode reason "compare React vs Vue for enterprise apps"

# Deep Research (sonar-deep-research) - full reports, exhaustive analysis
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --mode research "market analysis of AI in healthcare 2025"

Modes

ModeModelBest ForCost
search (default)sonar-proQuick facts, summaries, current eventsLow
reasonsonar-reasoning-proComplex analysis, comparisons, problem-solvingMedium
researchsonar-deep-researchIn-depth reports, market analysis, literature reviewsHigh

Options

FlagDescriptionDefault
--modesearch, reason, researchsearch
--recencyhour, day, week, month—
--domainsComma-separated domain filter—
--langLanguage code (pt, en, es, etc.)—
--jsonRaw JSON outputoff

Examples

bash
# Search with recency filter
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --recency week "OpenAI latest announcements"

# Search restricted to specific domains
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --domains "arxiv.org,nature.com" "transformer architecture advances"

# Search in Portuguese
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --lang pt "inteligência artificial no Brasil"

# Deep research with JSON output
{baseDir}/scripts/search.sh --mode research --json "enterprise AI adoption trends"

API Key

Set PERPLEXITY_API_KEY env var, or store it in a file:

bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/perplexity
echo "your_key_here" > ~/.config/perplexity/api_key
chmod 600 ~/.config/perplexity/api_key

The script checks the env var first, then falls back to the file.

Pricing Reference

  • Search (sonar-pro): ~$0.01/query
  • Reasoning (sonar-reasoning-pro): ~$0.02/query
  • Deep Research (sonar-deep-research): ~$0.40/query (uses many searches + reasoning)
Use search for everyday queries. Reserve research for when you truly need exhaustive analysis.

Installation

Terminal bash 

openclaw install perplexity-deep-search
