:bug: Describe the Bug

So i am using the sonar api to power a real time search element. When i tested with “Give me latest news on Donald Trump” it replied back with Donald Trump is scheduled to take office for the second time on…". Wondering if “latest” is not the right way to do this? Works great on the web version of perplexity - but API doesn’t seem to deliver the same.

It just seems like it was biased for once via a last big headline, this can happen unfortunately. I would just try and add some search filters here such as recency for example.

Can either use search_recency_filter or even better the date range filter: Date Range Filter Guide - Perplexity
