Address bar search tips
- Type full questions, not keywords. "How does React Server Components work in Next.js 15?" beats "react server components next.js."
- Be specific with dates and context. Comet routes to Perplexity, which searches in real time, so specifying "in 2026" ensures current results.
- Use the address bar for quick factual lookups. Currency conversions, definitions, and factual questions get instant answers.
- For direct navigation, just type the URL. Comet distinguishes between URLs and questions automatically.
Page summarization tips
- Use summaries as a triage tool. Open multiple tabs on a topic, summarize each one, then decide which pages deserve a full read.
- Summarize long documentation pages before diving in. The summary tells you whether the page actually covers what you need.
- Summarize news articles to get the key facts in seconds, then read the full article only if you want the details.
Sidebar and tab management tips
- Keep the AI sidebar open during research sessions. Ask follow up questions about the pages you visit, and the sidebar maintains context.
- Use tab search to find content by what the page says, not just the page title. This is faster than scanning through dozens of tabs visually.
- Let the AI group related tabs automatically. You can always ungroup or reorganize manually if the grouping does not match your workflow.
- Periodically review tab suggestions for closing. If Comet suggests closing tabs you have not visited in a while, it is usually right.
