Enhancement Request: Enhanced Search Result Capabilities

Overview:
When searching for topics like development projects in a specific area, Perplexica currently retrieves up to 12 articles related to the query. However, this limitation can hinder comprehensive research when there are significantly more relevant articles available. Additionally, the current system does not categorize or prioritize results, making it challenging to navigate and analyze the information efficiently.

Proposed Enhancements:

Increased Article Retrieval Limit: Expand the number of articles retrieved for broader searches to accommodate more comprehensive queries, such as up to 40 or more articles or a user-defined cap.

Categorization of Results: Add a feature to categorize search results by type, such as:

News Articles: Media sources.
Government Records: Meeting minutes, permits, zoning changes, etc.
Community or Other Sources: Academic studies, industry reports, or local commentary.
Prioritization and Filtering: Implement options to prioritize or filter results based on:

Relevance: Articles most closely aligned with the search criteria.
Timeliness: Display recent information first or allow users to specify a time range.
Source Type: Filter by source categories, such as government or news.
Improved Accuracy Mode: Develop and finalize the "Accuracy" mode to enable detailed data parsing, such as extracting project names, stakeholders, timelines, or geographic details from articles.

Summarization View: Provide a high-level summary of the retrieved articles, enabling users to quickly understand key findings before diving into specific details.

Value Added:
These enhancements would:

Enable users to perform more in-depth and comprehensive searches.
Organize large datasets into intuitive categories, saving time and effort.
Make searches more actionable by surfacing key insights and offering customization option
