You will be able to prompt the AI Search Assistant with this information

Conducting an industry search with broad terms like "manufacturing + sustainability" can yield an overwhelming number of results—potentially up to 20,000 within just seven days. This sheer volume makes it challenging to extract meaningful and actionable insights. To ensure your research is both manageable and effective, it’s essential to refine your keywords and focus on more specific aspects of the topic.

4. Filter your Search

It is rare a new search comes out perfect on the first try; it will likely require some tweaks.
