Disable search in API

[hang333]

How can I disable the sonar reasoning search function in the API? I mainly want to use the uncensored version of the Deepseek R1 model.

I was also wondering the same thing. The only idea I initially have is to do any or all of the following perhaps (untested for the moment):

• search_domain_filter = [ "someinvaliddomain.com" ] (this I imagine would limit search results used to anything from someinvaliddomain.com)
• search_recency_filter = "hour" (this I imagine would limit the search results to anything up to one hour ago)

Beware however that search_domain_filter is restricted to usage tier 3 unfortunately. I assume you can still use the search_recency_filter but it won't be as effective I guess.

It also feels like the reasoning time is shorter with this model compared to actual R1, but maybe that's just me.

I've noticed that with the search results it's confusing R1 occasionally. On three strawberry tests it failed one because it thought I was talking about the difficulty of the AI counting the letter R due to the search results, instead of answering my question "how many R's are in the word strawberry?".

Your first solution might not work. Like you, I originally though that "search_domain_filter" limited the domains that are searched. But the API docs say it limits the domains for CITATIONS:

I could have sworn it didn't say this before, but...
