Tips:

Use
```
relevance
```
sort (default) for topical searches. Use
```
cites
```
when you want landmark papers.
Be specific with queries — "bilingual cognitive advantages executive function" beats "bilingualism brain".
Use
```
paper.sh
```
to get the full abstract when search results show "Abstract: N/A".
The
```
related_works
```
IDs from
```
paper.sh
```
can be fed back into
```
paper.sh
```
to explore the citation graph.
When the user asks for scientific backing: search broadly first, pick the most relevant/cited papers, then use
```
paper.sh
```
for full details and cite as (Author, Year, Journal).
