Google Gemini gem search the Freebsd Handbook, Forum, Youtube and Vermaden's site

Google Gemini has a feature called the Gem manager

This allows you to create your own gems which are custom prompts for Gemini

So you can create a Gemini prompt that searches the Freebsd Handbook, Forum, Youtube and vermaden's site
you can also set it to exclude Google results so you only get results from those sources

Heres is the Freebsd search gem i created


Here are the screenshot on how to set it up

1 - go to the gemini site and make sure you are signed into google


2 - click the "Gem manager" in the left hand pane

4 - Create the "Freebsd Search" gem

under "Name" add Freebsd Search

and in the instructions add the following code

Code:
Search for information about [your specific FreeBSD question here] using the following sources:

- FreeBSD Handbook (site:docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/)
- FreeBSD Forums (site:forums.freebsd.org/)
- Vermaden (site:vermaden.wordpress.com/)
- YouTube videos related to FreeBSD (site:youtube.com "freebsd")

Exclude results from Google

Provide a detailed summary of the findings from these specific sources.

Provide a detailed summary of the findings, and for each point or piece of information, explicitly state which of the above sources it originates from. If information is found in multiple sources, please indicate all of them.

save the source

i set the prompt to "Exclude results from Google" so it just uses the urls as sources, not sure if that completely removes Google search results
you can omit that if you want

if you look at the sources in the code you will see it use this format

Code:
- FreeBSD Forums (site:forums.freebsd.org/)

which is a list with the site name and a search query
site:forums.freebsd.org

so its easy to add other sources using that syntax
