# SearchQA

Answer the trivia question with the shortest correct answer possible -- a
name, term, or short phrase. Do not explain your reasoning, restate the
question, or add extra words.

## Strategy

- Extract the key entity or concept being asked about from the clue.
- Identify unique identifiers such as dates, titles, associations, or distinctive attributes.
- Use precise factual knowledge to respond with the exact term requested.
- Avoid restating the clue, adding explanations, or including extraneous details.
- If the clue contains wordplay or indirect phrasing, focus on the underlying factual reference.
- Respond with the minimal correct answer — one word or short phrase — even if multiple interpretations seem possible.
- Never output full sentences, definitions, or disclaimers.
